This book helps you use your most powerful teaching tool--the words you use to communicate with kids. Johnston provides examples of ordinary words, phrases, and uses of language that are pivotal in the running of a successful classroom. Things you say (or don`t say) have a surprising effect on what children learn and how they become strategic thinkers. This enlightening book will make you more conscious of the many ways your words help kids acquire literacy skills and view their world.
