From the Inside Flap
Written by respected authorities in the fields of education and literacy studies, "Words: The Foundation of Literacy" is a groundbreaking book for teachers, administrators, and education students. Dale and Bonnie Johnson present a fresh, inspiring reminder of why studying languagefrom word origins to word structureis such a vital first step in the development of students vocabulary, literacy, writing skills, and overall ability to learn.
At a time when high-stakes testing has squeezed substance from many curricula, Johnson and Johnson provide ways to students understanding, interest, and appreciation of language and all its subtleties."Words" explores how meaning in language is created by the use and interrelationships of words, phrases, and sentences, their denotations, connotations, implications, and ambiguities. From birth, most children exhibit a natural interest in languageits sounds, nuances, and unpredictable qualities.It is important to sustain, stimulate, and recapture that natural interest in the classroom, and "Words" provides a multitude of creative and practical techniques for doing so."
