The Vocabulary Teacher's Book of Lists
The Vocabulary Teacher's Book of Lists provides content for literally hundreds of vocabulary improvement lessons for use by elementary, middle, and secondary school teachers, self-improving adults, home schoolers, and students studying for the SATs and ACTs.
Replete with lists of words, books, teaching strategies, and many other useful tidbits of information related to language and literacy, this book picks up where Dr. Fry's bestselling The Reading Teacher's Book of Lists leaves off. Its primary focus is on vocabulary improvement for reading and writing. It contains a comprehensive section on roots and word origins; extensive lists of words used in science, psychology, and literature; along with an entire chapter on vocabulary teaching methods and options for curriculum content. Other chapters include spelling, homophones, exonyms, affixes, and specialized subject area terms. With a wide variety of levels and lengths, some lists may be appropriate for individual students as extra credit; other lists will help ESL students to master English, and yet other students will use these lists to prepare for college entrance exams.
Based upon extensive scholarship and comprehensive references, Dr. Fry's The Vocabulary Teacher's Book of Lists bridges popular notions of vocabulary building and word smithing with the more formal academic study of language syntax and lexicon. It is an indispensable resource for both teachers and parents aiming to improve their students' vocabulary and literacy skills.
Praise for The Vocabulary Teacher's Book of Lists
"Edward Fry has the uncanny ability to take a complex concept--in this case vocabulary--and present it in a form useful to students and teachers."
--Allen Berger, Heckert Professor of Reading and Writing, Miami University
"The Vocabulary Teacher's Book of Lists will serve as an invaluable reference tool to any instructor involved in teaching English or designing project work. The content spans the grades from 4th up to college and is characteristic of Edward Fry's contribution to be both comprehensive and creative."
--Pat Costigan, learning consultant, Bordentown Regional School District, New Jersey
"Teachers who want to mix test-prep with life-success-prep will welcome The Vocabulary Teacher's Book of Lists as an easy-to-use resource for lively lessons. They'll enjoy the wry humor of Dr. Edward Fry's teaching suggestions as he marries word work to wordplay."
--Lee Mountain, professor, curriculum and instruction, College of Education, University of Houston
