Vocabulary forms a relentless divide between children who succeed and those who do not.

This divide is often between poor children and their privileged counterparts.

Without vocabulary knowledge, children cannot interpret text meaningfully or respond in ways that enable them to fully participate in classroom discussions.

All About Words is a practical guide designed to help early childhood teachers take advantage of the unique opportunity provided by the Common Core State Standards.

It offers strategies for planning and presenting vocabulary instruction and for monitoring children's word learning progress, along with helpful appendices that provide specific guidance on which words to teach.

Each chapter includes ideas to support home-school connections, recognising the important role parents play in children's vocabulary development.

Throughout, the authors encourage readers to examine day-to-day classroom issues, making it an ideal resource for professional development.
