âJust as word learning is incremental, so is learning about vocabulary instruction. Teachers need exposure to research, best-practice strategies, and fellow practitioners.â
âCharlene Cobb and Camille BlachowiczThe way weâve learned influences the way we teach, but the vocabulary instruction many of us receivedâlooking up words and writing sentences or completing worksheetsâ just doesnât work. So what can we do instead?
No More âLook Up the Listâ Vocabulary Instruction is your guide to engaging, research-proven practices for teaching words effectively. Practitioner Charlene Cobb and researcher Camille Blachowicz share why old-fashioned methods donât work, what the research shows does work, and how to put the research into action.
Charlene and Camille answer teachersâ most commonly asked questions about vocabulary instruction, including:
- How many words, and how do I select them?
- How can I foster student independence using dictionaries and glossaries?
- How do I find time for meaningful vocabulary instruction?
- How can I assess and hold students accountable?
âWithout practice in the full range of ways we use a word,â write Charlene and Camille, âour word knowledge is limited and falls from our grasp as the next cycle of words enters.â No More âLook Up the Listâ Vocabulary Instruction offers a solutionâdeepen studentsâ engagement with words, increase their exposure to them, and expand their word knowledge.
