It explores the dependence of children's academic achievement on lexicon - vocabulary - and provides a guide for teachers to plan and resource a 'word-aware' curriculum. An essential handbook for all teachers of children for whom English is an addional language and also for linguists, educational policy-makers and teachers educators.
