The 2007 George Graham lecture was:
"Revolutionizing Vocabulary Instruction, K-12:
Developing students' vocabulary knowledge is at present one of the most challenging issues facing educators and one of literacy's hottest topics. How does a developmental model of word knowledge incorporate recent findings from research in vocabulary learning and instruction? How do these two lines of research support teachers� efforts to teach phonics, spelling, and vocabulary? You will be both reassured and surprised as we address these questions in the context of exploring the new revolution in vocabulary /lexical specific/ and /generative/vocabulary instruction.
