Academic Vocabulary in Middle and High School: Effective Practices across the Disciplines

Authors - Donna Ogle, Camille Blachowicz, Peter Fisher and Laura Lang

In order to succeed in school and beyond, students in grades 6–12 need to understand and use both academic language and discipline-specific vocabulary. This book describes effective practices for integrating vocabulary study with instruction in English language arts, history/social studies, and math and science, and for helping students become independent, motivated word learners. The expert authors present a wealth of specific teaching strategies, illustrated with classroom vignettes and student work samples. Connections to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are highlighted throughout; an extensive annotated list of print and electronic resources enhances the book's utility.
