Davis Publications

For years, teachers have observed that vocabulary knowledge is critical to effective comprehension and academic success. Given the well-documented link between vocabulary acquisition and comprehension, and the lack of well-documented instructional methods, Davis Publications and a team of research professionals in Worcester, Massachusetts, set out to develop and test a unique approach to vocabulary learning that would make a significant and measurable difference in vocabulary acquisition and comprehension. The result is Discussions4Learning.
