This is an excellent read for educators at all grade levels and stages of their careers, and it highlights an important, yet often overlooked, tool teachers use most often in the classroom: our words and language. I can't recommend this book highly enough to fellow educators; author Denton really makes you think about how your words and tone of voice impact your students. This may seem like a 'common sense' sort of topic, but in reading this short, accessible book, you realize that language is an essential tool of teaching and one that really takes skill and practice to use effectively. I especially liked that Denton included a whole chapter on effective listening, which I think is often left out of the teaching equation when we get wrapped up in how much curriculum we have to cover, etc. This is a quick and worthwhile read for all educators, especially those in the classroom. Highly recommend it.
