Summary: In Building Background Knowledge for Academic Achievement, Robert J.

Readers will learn

  • A five-step process for using sustained silent reading to enhance background knowledge
  • The defining characteristics of effective vocabulary instruction
  • A six-step process for direct instruction in vocabulary in each discipline
