Please understand that this is one post on Larry Ferlazzo's own blog, separate from his frequent posts on
Education Week. Each of the above links have further links with more explanation. This is a post all of us in Title I should spend some time investigating. Our students really need assistance in developing levels of vocabulary to be successful in school and in careers.
Well worth the time spent.
