Reviews

Academic language and literacy are essential keys to conceptual understanding and ultimately to student success. Eli Johnson gives all teachers and school leaders a foundation for improvement that will reach every classroom and every student. -- Peter Dallas Finch, Assistant Superintendent 20090505 A terrific resource for teachers of every grade level! I especially loved the academic grade-level word lists that highlight the specific words pertinent to every grade level. All students will benefit from this, especially my struggling readers. This is a wonderful resource and should be in every teacher's library. -- MicheleTimmerman, Sixth-Grade Teacher 20090518
