This guide for teachers offer tips, graphic organizers, and activities for teaching 55 words, such as compare, synthesize, and evidence, that students need to know in order to understand the directions on standardized tests given for the Common Core State Standards. For each word, there is a definition, synonyms, and a jingle with a corresponding movement to help students remember the word. Author Sprenger, a member of the American Academy of Neurology and the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, also offers an overview of research on how students learn vocabulary and how memory works, and provides information on the Common Core vocabulary standards. The book includes 8 graphic organizers. The author teaches at Aurora University. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
