Teaching Vocabulary to Improve Reading Comprehension
Author(s): William E. Nagy

Nagy describes the three methods of vocabulary instruction that most effectively improve comprehension and the teaching methods that employ them. The book further suggests that, although reading can significantly contribute to an increased vocabulary, large-scale vocabulary growth comes through both explicit instruction and incidental encounters with words.
