Word Smart
High school students need a large and rich vocabulary. They get small does of it as they read literature, history, science and even their math books. Word Smart is a tool to focus on the most frequently used vocabulary terms found on the high-stakes exams. Growing a student’s vocabulary improves their writing skills, speaking skills, as well as their confidence. Students learn tricks to memorize new words, discover how to make better use of a thesaurus, make effective flashcards, and break down etymological clues. Learners can even read some pages and give themselves the quick quiz to see how they did. Answers are in the back of the book. I love learning new words. I love using new words I learn too! This is a book you can pick up and put down as needed, making it a very practical resource. ~Sara
