			<p>The Bridge of Vocabulary applies five practices shown to be essential in teaching vocabulary skills to general and special education students: (1) engage students often with a wide selection of books; (2) enjoy word games and word play; (3) teach word learning strategies; (4) be explicit; and (5) be redundant.</p>

			<h3>Benefits</h3>

			<ul>
				<li>Helps specialists, teachers, and parents systematically plan explicit word encounters.</li>
				<li>Encourages fast mapping and provides slow mappers with extended exposure to vocabulary.</li>
				<li>Demonstrates phonotactic probability and neighborhood density, two important factors in vocabulary growth.</li>
				<li>Incorporates student-friendly definitions that use spoken vocabulary words instead of reading vocabulary words.</li>
				<li>Equally useful for typical students as for ELL students, students with language and learning disabilities, students with complex communication disabilities, and low/high achiever students.</li>
			</ul>

			<h3>Features</h3>

			<p>The Bridge of Vocabulary &nbsp;helps educators create linguistic environments that allow students to succeed as listeners, speakers, readers, and writers.</p>

			<ul>
				<li>Includes about 100 activities that target a full range of vocabulary skills and concepts (e.g., listening, speaking, reading, writing, language processing, word play, etc.)</li>
				<li>Proven techniques reviewed and tested by classroom teachers and SLPs.</li>
				<li>A curriculum standard, with explicit teaching instructions.</li>
				<li>Guided and independent practice activities.</li>
			</ul>
