Creating Strategic Readers This chapter offers vocabulary
strategies and techniques that enhance students' understanding
of new words and concepts. Each technique identifies
corresponding developmental reading levels and multiple
intelligences. Also included in the second edition are
additional ways to motivate and engage students. The added
“Motivated/Engagement” sections are meant to help teachers
differentiate their instruction when trying to reach the whole
child. Strategy assessments are embedded within each strategy
for educators to evaluate students' strengths and weaknesses
within a particular strategy. Appropriate teacher talk (e.g.,
statements, questions, and prompts) is provided at the beginning
of each of the strategy sections and within each technique;
using such teacher talk encourages readers to think
strategically as they employ the given skills. Ellery, V.
