Practice Makes Perfect Mastering Vocabulary

Good book. Will introduce or reinforce vocabulary words with exercises. However, it's effectiveness really depends upon a student's current vocabulary level. That makes it difficult to asses without seeing the vocabulary words themselves ahead of time. Review never hurts, of course, but I want a book to increase vocabulary, not review. But that problems exists with any vocabulary book. If you feel your child is at grade level with his vocabulary, this may be a good starting point. My seventh grader knew a little more than half of the words so it served as a review and as builder of new vocabulary.

We have been using this book for 3 weeks and it is amazing. I have my daughter look the words up in a dictionary and then we make a set of vocabulary cards for the week (index cards with a ring on the corner and a hole punch) and on this card is the word, a sentence and the definition. She enjoys doing them and the practice sheets are good for her to work on one per day. I liked this book so much I bought the grammar version to bring into our curriculum too

I rarely write reviews, but I had to for this product. In a nutshell, it's perfect! It is exactly what I need for my students. If you are an educator, you will love the organization. Each lesson starts off with a word list that gives the spelling, part of speech, and definition. This is followed by 2 or so practice activities. If you wanted to, you could easily use one of the activities as a quiz.

Good book for a kid in middle school to expand his vocabulary or just at least get exposed to different words. My son has learned the meaning of many words he did not know before and I made him learn the spelling of some of them. I like this book.

Good

Helped wife as a supplement learning English

My daughter will be going into High School this year and I was concerned about her lack of vocabulary I purchased this book to try to help her learn some new words every time she completes a chapter she gets a small reward like some extra time on her tablet or to stay up a little later. I would say the book is the perfect compromise between being easy enough for her to do on her own yet challenging enough for her to really have to focus and pay attention and actually learn something while completing it. I'm very happy with my purchase and I'm hoping to find additional books with more vocabulary words to help her continue to expand her reading and writing comprehension

The book is as it says but the students are not a huge fan of the layout.

This is a perfect vocabulary booster that is loaded with well presented practicum & interactive participation. I know the book is aimed for young teens; but I would also recommend this book as a refresher for any adult who has gotten 'lax' with their language skills throughout the years. It is a delightful read with a simple format that makes for a gentle and yet informative study. Vocabulary books can be rather 'tedious' & certainly not a 'must have'....but this book breaks that dull format & creates an unexpectedly enjoyable learning experience.

This book is excellent with example sentences and interesting exercised. It's the best book out there for 11+ vocab. My daughter used this book and said some of the words from this book came up in the test.

The vocabulary book combines features that make it easy to use for adults and students. Each set is categorized into common-sense groups, such as "homophones" and "synonyms." They are all appropriate for middle school, ranging in difficulty from mild to hard. After each set is presented, exercises are given to review the words. These include fill-in the blank, and matching. It is a bit traditional in using word lists as a focus of study, but it does it well.

A brilliant book. My students love doing the exercises and their vocabulary has improved significantly. Wish I'd found it years ago!

A valuable tool for learning vocabulary, I would highly recommend for homeschoolers or extra practice.
