Nothing matters more than words...Words lie at the heart of our quest to narrow gaps between the advantaged and disadvantaged, to address social mobility. That’s why I am so pleased to welcome Alex’s powerfully illuminating book. It is a vital reminder that knowing about vocabulary is the responsibility of every teacher. It is also the entitlement of every child.
Geoff Barton, General Secretary of Association of School & College Leaders

Expertly weaving academic research with observations from the classroom, Alex explains why word poverty matters – and sets out what can be done about it. Word knowledge [...] is critical for success in every subject and as such it is the responsibility of all teachers to become word conscious.
