Author Janet Allen uses a conversational tone and puts vocabulary research into perspective when she talks about our own research as teachers and the research of "noted authorities." Once Ms. Allen sets the scene for her comments, she goes on to take what we've learned from research and translates it into practice. There are a lot of nice tips and strategies in this book, including Professional References and Literature References. Best of all, it has the "ring of the true practitioner's voice."  --Teaching K-8, May 1999
