Summary: "For each of us authors, our attachments to words is an important driving force in the work represented in this book. Our own engagement with language spurred us to set goals for students that included depth of understanding, facility of use, and eagerness for word opportunities. So we thought it fitting to begin this book by each sharing a chapter from our own "verbal biographies" --our personal history as word learners. The narratives below reveal something about how vocabulary captured our attention and became important in our lives."
