Marzano (Cardinal Stritch University) shows how a combination of two approaches--a five-step sustained silent reading process and a six-step process for instruction in subject-specific vocabulary terms--can help overcome the deficiencies in background knowledge that hold many students back. Vignettes suggest how the methods might be implemented in elementary, middle, and high schools. A 66-page appendix of 7,923 vocabulary terms, organized into 11 subject areas and four grade-level categories, is included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
