In Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher's Manual, Robert J. Marzano and Debra J. Pickering give teachers a practical way to help students master academic vocabulary. Research has shown that when teachers, schools, and districts take a systematic approach to helping students identify and master essential vocabulary and concepts of a given subject area, student comprehension and achievement rises.

In the manual, readers will find the following tools:

- A method to help teachers, schools, and districts determine which academic vocabulary terms are most essential for their needs

- A six-step process for direct instruction in subject area vocabulary

- A how-to to help students use the Building Academic Vocabulary: Student Notebook. The six-step method encourages students to learn critical academic vocabulary by connecting these terms to prior knowledge using linguistic and non-linguistic means that further encourage the refinement and deepening of their understanding.

- Suggestions for tailoring academic vocabulary procedures for English Language Learners.

- Samples and blackline masters for a variety of review activities and games that reinforce and refine student understanding of the academic terms and concepts they learn.

The book also includes a list of 7,923 vocabulary terms culled from the national standards documents and other publications, organized into 11 subject areas and 4 grade-level categories. It puts into practice the research and ideas outlined in Marzano's previous book Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement. Using the teacher's manual and vocabulary notebooks, educators can guide students in using tools and activities that will help them deepen their own understanding of critical academic vocabulary, the building blocks for achievement in each discipline.

The teacher’s helper is precisely what this item means to me. This book helped me plan engaging lessons that increased my students' vocabulary. I could enhance the lessons to fit the standards my students must master for their grade level. The contents of this book gave me wonderful ideas on how to make my classroom more rigorous.

Marzano has a lot of great ideas and good points to make in this book. It is written in a way that is accessible to a regular practitioner -- you don't have to be a PhD to understand it! The area of content vocabulary instruction is so important -- and this book helps make it happen. I especially appreciated the sections on teaching ELLs.

It has some useful ideas that you may have forgot.

The only thing I didn't like was the word list. My state gives me a word list to follow, I don't need one in the book. Almost half of the book is a word list for all grades.

Good for the price. I bought this for a grad school class. Gives actual vocabulary activities and an approach to teaching vocab. I will be using to supplement my teaching at the high school level, but it can also be used at any other level. Easy read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, but not Earth Shattering
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2013
Verified Purchase
I bought this to use with my older speech therapy kids who struggle with vocabulary (primarily ages 11-15) after it was referenced at an ASHA schools conference. It's a good resource, though it seems better suited for a full classroom with a set curriculum than a one-on-one set-up. I was surprised and slightly disappointed by how thin it was and expected more solid vocabulary lists and teaching strategies than I felt were provided. There are a lot of good reproducibles and start-up ideas, but I didn't find it to be a go to for finding words and ways to link known to new vocabulary without having to teach a full course of background subject knowledge.
