Bringing Words to Life, Second Edition: Robust Vocabulary Instruction by Isabel L. Beck
Lots more in this so made it worth reading after I had already read the first edition.

Certainly a book that should be read - and it's ideas used - by teachers from all subject specialisms. I will be utilising many of it's ideas and activities in my teaching.
