This guide for grade 3–12 teachers provides 50 classroom-tested tools and techniques to ensure you: Plan lessons that grow your students' academic language; Help students explicitly and implicitly develop and monitor their ability to think; Ensure students are not just consumers of powerful words, but producers of powerful words; Encourage students to process texts in higher-order peer interactions; and Support students so that they are able to not only cite text-based evidence, but also coherently interpret its relevance for the reader. Reflections from real teachers and students bring these practices to life.
