Mrs. Pierce's HOT READ!
Word Nerds focuses on vocabulary
instruction in the classroom. The
book breaks away from the traditional approach of memorizing definitions
and applying them into context of a
sentence. The authors included many games that can be used to engage students in their word study, and a list of books that are rich in vocabulary.
