“Michael Graves shows once again why he is one of our leading lights in vocabulary instruction.”
—Claude Goldenberg, Stanford University, School of Education

—From the Foreword by James F. Baumann, University of Wyoming

“This comprehensive and practical resource dives into the heart of word learning and demonstrates how to maximize the benefits of teaching individual words. Dr. Graves skillfully highlights concrete examples of vocabulary instruction as rich and powerful tools that can be easily incorporated into a variety of educational settings. I highly recommend it.”
