Summary: Absolutely Fabulous
Comment: A vocabulary teaching/learning tool that's both truly useful and fun? How can this be? I don't know how many vocabulary workbooks you've seen, but I've seen plenty, and they're generally just horrid. This one, in contrast, is terrific.
I don't know why Amazon doesn't provide needed information about this book. It's a workbook, and it's clearly meant to be used in a middle-school classroom. That doesn't mean it would have to be used in school; anyone between the ages of ten and fourteen could pick it up and get useful information about words and how to use them . . . and enjoy it.
Several things about this book struck me as unusual. The word lists that begin each lesson actually present solid, useful, appropriate words. The definitions are, amazingly, actually understandable instead of containing words harder than the one being taught. There's nary a diacritical mark to be found; every target word is "respelled" to clarify its pronunciation. And that's just the first page. The rest of each lesson consists of exercises, often quite clever ones, that provide opportunities to see what the words actually mean and how they can be used. There's also quite a bit of simple art and lots of jokes that use the words--all adding to the general idea that word acquisition is anything but tedious.
This book almost made me want to get back into a classroom.
