Patty Ball's insight:

Vocabulary and its strong relationship to comprehension has been verified over and over again. Vocabulary plays an important part in learning to read as well as reading to learn.

Vocabulary Trainer

Patty Ball's insight:

free online resources for ESL learners to practice vocabulary. Although these resources are designed to accompany some of the books published by Cambridge University Press, they can be used for vocabulary review, whether you are using these books in particular or not. For instance, if you’re teaching students who will be sitting for the PET, Cambridge offers a Vocabulary Trainer through which they can review all of the PET vocabulary they’ll need. Although it’s meant as a complement to their Objective PET book, any student taking the test will benefit from this practice. The same happens with the First Certificate. There’s a Vocabulary Trainer for FCE any student can use.
