 If I had world enough and time... April 14, 2009

I think the ideas here are sound, but as I read I imagine a team of writers working together and spending many hours devising lessons. Working teachers don't have that much time. It is generally a bad sign when the positive reviews on the back cover of the book are from PhDs. Quite often these people have never actually used the book with students.

. . . should certainly be a central goal for all reading teachers to transmit to their students. "Bring Words to Life" serves as an excellent reference for doing just that. A variety of strategies are provided to address the needs of readers across grade levels (sorry, but I disagree with those who believe that books, such as this one, should only address the needs of students at particular grade levels), that will prove useful to all teachers.
Although this is a fairly short book (about 130 pages), it provides a lot of useful material. I would recommend this to anyone involved in teaching reading to children.
A very good book! February 14, 2008

This is one of the books I bought for my Education (Reading and Writing) class. It's really good, both the theory and examples. A must-buy for K6 teacher ^^

This book does a great job of explaining the whys and hows of teaching vocabulary to children. It is a great read for teachers of any grade level or subject area. It is not a very exciting read for those outside of educational professions.

This is an excellent book on teaching vocabulary to all grade levels. It is check full of ideas you can implement immediately with just enough philosophy to make the strategies understandable. I highly recommend it!!
