It is good
It Works!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I tried wordlists and many different techniques to master vocabulary words, yet for whatever reason, I found this book most helpful in enabling me to remember the words. The short passages that you read with the words in context in each section repeat words that you have already mastered, or should have, and I think this method works particularly well. Moreover, the words that you study in this book are extremely useful for the GRE, SAT, or just strengthening your vocabulary in general.
big vocabulary in bite-sized chunks
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This vocabulary book is fantastic! You work on 10 words for each of 5 days, and then a weekly quiz. The text stimulates and preps your mind to soak up the definition of each word by first showing you its use in a paragraph, then testing you with fill-in-the blank sentences. Finally,you learn the definitions via a matching quiz. But, after the paragraph and blank sentences, you almost know the definitions already! Also, each day a language idiom is presented as a further boost to a highly functional vocabulary. This is a great vocabulary book. I highly reccommend it.
Excellent Resource

I use this book while tutoring adults who are learning English as a second language. Each day, 5 new words are presented, activities incorporating the new words can be finished in less than a half hour and a review for the words learned for the week is also available. The words used are challenging but common. During my time helping the students i also get a good vocabulary review!
The Best!

The method used in this book is the best technique I have ever seen. Each word is used in context, and you are encouraged to guess the meaning. Then you review the meaning using a matching test and a fill in the blank test. It is a stroke of brilliance that the words you have already learned are continually reviewed by being used over and over again in the following chapters. Each week has 4 lessons plus a review lesson, and a different storyline is used each week. These stories are of high interest and very clever. It is hard to put this book down; I have to restrain myself from going on to the next page! My only regret is that I didn't have this book 20 years ago!
