Outstanding vocabulary builder!
This text was introduced to me through my 5th grade son's private school. As a middle school teacher, I am always searching for add-on resources to enhance the public school curriculum. This is without a doubt the best I've found to date. It starts with level A (fifth grade) and runs through level H (twelveth grade). After finding this resource, I ordered a copy of each in the series. I ...

Really learned a lot
I love this series. I used it when I was in school and can remember making fun of some of the words with friends, but I still remember most of them. Now, I use them with my students. I didn't find it hard at all to find answer key, but it is because we order from the publisher. It also has no other supplemental materials, but if you're creative they really aren't needed. We work with the same ...

Take the diagnostic test beforehand
It's a good book. Offers pronounciation, definitions, synonyms, and antonyms, as well as good practice. Chances are there are at least some words you'll learn from the book, even if you do well on the diagnostic test but I still suggest that you take that test to see if you should get a higher level book.

Phenomenal classroom tool!
This book has been one of my most valuable resources in my classroom. Each of my students owns a copy, and through class activities that incorporate the vocabulary into various literature lessons, I have seen results. One student recently took the SATs for the second time and reported a 210-point increase in his verbal score--an increase that he ascribes to this book. I highly recommend this ...

An Excellent Learning Tool
As a foreign student who just started learning English 5 years ago, the verbal section is definitely my major obstacle to mastering the SAT. When I first took the PSAT, my verbal percentile was only a 49, but after working through all eight levels of Vocabulary Workshop (A through H) it has increased to a 99 (that was a year ago). Therefore I highly recommend this book to you (sincerely). This ...

More Painless Than Using Dictionary!
Dealing with Painless series of BARRON'S, I came to learn more efficient ways to lighten my loads of my mind.

You will be able to solve every brain ticker if you read the explanation of words BEFORE using your dictionary. And of ...

Great Vocabulary Workbook
My son, who is not really interested in Language Arts, but is good at it, got very interested in this book. He would ask to do vocabulary and more vocabulary. This book makes learning vocabulary fun even though it's through repetition. Each lesson contains many pages of the same words but in different ways and it gets kids into vocabulary and learning new words happily! I highly ...

This is not a collection of 'pedantic pundit or parlance'.....all of the words can be used in everyday communication. They are good, strong words with clear meanings which can help you to ...

A Great Book
Ahh...the pleasure of words, how could a man deny himself this Empyrean delight! Asceticism, at least in the realm of vocabulary, is a mortal sin that a true logophile should not hesitate to denounce. The organization of the book is worth heaping praises upon. Chapters, each of which should be finished in a day, are ordered thematically (eg Power Verbs and Foreign Words), that I personally found ...

Best Enjoyed with Building Background Knowledge For Academic... by Robert J. Marzano
This book was worth the purchase because of the leveled word lists for ALL subjects. Almost 8,000 for 11 subjects - that includes all the topics covered in Social Studies, noncore classes, all leveled by grade range. It does refer to the accompanying Marzano work often and I found I needed to purchase both to receive the full amount of understanding I wanted on the subject. You need this if ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

Very useful for homeschoolers too...
My children attended a public school where this program was used. When I brought them home due to their various LDs/allergies, I balked at the $40 price tag of this book and opted for the less expensive Spectrum Spelling books for their grade level. I found those to be rather annoying because often my children already knew the words. And the ones they didn't know, they would spell correctly on ...
