Meaningful, organized vocabulary study for the high school student whose goals may include college admission, success on standardized tests, and achievement in reading and writing.
This workbook strives to help high school students build the superior vocabulary so essential for success not only in college work but also in professional life.
To that end, this course focuses on showing students how they can develop vocabulary acquisition skills that will ensure lifelong vocabulary growth.
These skills include deriving the meaning of unknown words from their contexts or from their elements (such as prefixes and roots drawn from other languages).
In addition, the workbook course provides students with abundant, varied opportunities to practice their new words, often through exercises serving a range of objectives common in the English classroom.
For example, in addition to reinforcing the students' command of new vocabulary, one exercise teaches concise expression, and another teaches close reading.
Still another exercise, asking students to write "minicompositions" of no more than three sentences, teaches an important composition skill, such as stating an opinion and supporting it with reasons or examples.
The ample word stock, draws on the contributions to English vocabulary from Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, French, Italian, and Spanish.
