We've learned a lot in recent years about the important role vocabulary plays in making meaning, yet many teachers still struggle with vocabulary instruction that goes beyond weekly word lists. Effective vocabulary instruction is particularly vital in the content areas, where the specialized language used by “insiders” often creates a barrier to understanding for those new to the subjects. In Inside Words, Janet Allen merges recent research and key content-area teaching strategies to show teachers how to help students understand the academic vocabulary found in textbooks, tests, articles, and other informational texts. Each instructional tool is listed alphabetically along with its purpose: building background knowledge; teaching words that are critical to comprehension; providing support during reading and writing; developing a conceptual framework; and assessing students' understanding of words and concepts. Inside Words builds on Janet's previous books Words, Words, Words and Tools for Teaching Content Literacy, to provide a much-needed middle and secondary school resource for teaching vocabulary, not only in the language arts, but in all of the content areas. NOTE: Media: 176 pp/paper + online resources

I purchased this book as part of my requirements for a graduate school class. Three weeks after this class and I am still thumbing through this book and designing lessons with the tools listed in this book. I've also bought two more of Janet Allen's books. What I love about this text is that I can use the different tools Allen shares with any level of text for my students. I am so excited to add more Allen books to my collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars really like it and recommend it

I wanted to give this 4.5 starts because I really, really like it and recommend it, but there is one thing I would like more of.

I attended one of Janet Allen's workshops and she is a wonderful educator and facilitator. I thought I had all her books until I enrolled in an online course for vocabulary instruction and this was the required text. I love everything about this book. The exercises are timely and fun; the examples are relevant and cross-curricular. I especially like the accompanying CD with the graphic organizers in English *and* Spanish. The only thing the book lacks--the one thing I would like more of--are student samples. I would like to see the organizers in use by students.

Bought this book for my daughter-n-law while she was taking college classes to become a teacher. So much cheaper than buying them from the college books stores. Good quality and price for this book.

No problem with the book itself, but I didn’t get the CD. I’m awaiting my third book. Hoping it’ll come with a CD this time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great toolbox for vocabulary teaching!
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016

Had to purchase this textbook for a masters course. It provided a lot of activities to incorporate teaching vocabulary, text comprehension, etc. Definitely usable. I don't think I'll be keeping this text however, because I'm a choral music director. That does not mean I can't use the lessons and concepts in the book. I just think someone in a core classroom may find it more useful.
