Vocabulary Workshop was part of our curriculum in Honors English in High School in the 90's. It was my favorite part of class. Fun and informative! I would probably do them for fum now! Awesome Books.

Words Are Power

I use this book with gifted students. They really love seeing what new words we will learn for the week. As most are avid readers, they recognize some of the words from reading, but may not have understood meanings in the past. An excellent tool for a teacher of language arts!

If you knew what the title to this review meant, or just wish you did, this is the kind of book you can buy and actually just read for fun; it's quite interesting. At least, if you're as big a dork as I am.However, if I happen to have spelled that wrong and you neither noticed nor cared, then you're probably going to be pretty bored. And, quite frankly, that's pretty respectable in it's own right.
Excellent Learning Tool

This book is part of a series that is an effective tool for expanding one's vocabulary. It requires that the student find and learn definitions on his own, and then apply them to various activities, including Fill in the Blank and Choosing the Right Word exercises. A pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book allows a student to complete the pronunciation drill included in every section. This way, the student does not only know the meaning of the word, he knows how to use it properly in dialog. Another excellent feature of this book (and series) is that the author groups words with similar meanings in the same groups so that the student will be able to distinguish between the two when faced with real material. Overall, this book and series thereof are terrific centers of vocabulary curricula and will greatly benefit students and teachers alike.
