It is only one word, but the already suggests  that any words the child knows are ahead of expectation and, most  important, that there is nothing permanent about what is known and not  known.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e — Peter Johnston\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes a single word changes everything. In his groundbreaking book \u003ci\u003eChoice Words\u003c\/i\u003e,  Peter Johnston demonstrated how the things teachers say (and don't say)  have surprising consequences for the literate lives of students. Now,  in \u003ci\u003eOpening Minds: Using Language to Change Lives\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter shows  how the words teachers choose affect the worlds students inhabit in the  classroom, and ultimately their futures. He explains how to engage  children with more productive talk and to create classrooms that support  not only students' intellectual development, but their development as  human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in research, \u003ci\u003eOpening Minds: Using Language to Change Lives \u003c\/i\u003eshows  how words can shape students' learning, their sense of  self, and their social, emotional and moral development. Make no  mistake: words have the power to open minds – or close them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stenhouse Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166315430128,"sku":"9781571109538","price":17.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781571109538_p0.jpg?v=1763793816","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781571109538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
