I have been writing since 10th grade. This book is helping to increase my vocabulary and lower my spelling errors. Simple to use, easy to remember lessons. Very informative and a good learning tool.

University teacher and editor of 30 years' experience Mark Phillips presents Vocabulary Dictionary and Workbook: 2,856 Words You Must Know, a quick-study self-teaching tool for expanding one's English vocabulary. Vocabulary Dictionary Workbook is divided into over two hundred chapters, each chapter presenting a dozen or so words with straightforward dictionary definitions and an example of the word's use in a sentence, plus simple bonus exercises at the end to reinforce the reader's familiarity. The words are organized alphabetically among all chapters as a whole, so that looking up any individual word is a simple matter regardless of what chapter it is from. The words covered include many that are most likely to be on the SATs and other standardized tests, or included on the job or peppering everyday conversation. An absolute "must-have" for anyone preparing for college entrance exams, and an excellent, easy-to-use literacy improvement resource for everyone else.

The only reason for the lower rating is for the lack of varied games and puzzles. There are only the four same one's: match the 3 words 1,2,3 with a,b,or c, definitions; 3 words, and you answer if this is the correct meaning, signifing by answering yes or no; 3 words that you fill in the blanks; and the last, is 3 words that are given a meaning to and you answer is the meanid listed the same(s) or oppisite(o). But i will said it is a lot of words and very easy to understand definitions, along with a sentence, and it gives you whether it's a noun verb, adverb ect. and offers for instance the noun and the adj word as well. It also gives you different context one might use this word.
