The vocabulary words on the cover include archipelago and medevac, but inside the book there are also many more rudimentary words. I'd be very concerned if my own kids didn't know the majority of these words before age ten. "Guidebook" and "masterpiece" are in the compound word section, "foul" and "fowl" in the homophone section, "thermometer" and "sympathy" under Greek. I do like the way that the workbook has variety and presents vocabulary in different ways. There's a tic tac toe antonym game, an explanation and fill in the blank area for eponyms such as bologna and tuxedo, and a crossword puzzle for Greek roots. The relatively few words that I consider remotely challenging include isthmus, tributary, onomatopoeia, snafu, and alliteration. This would be a fun book for a second or third grader, an ESL student, or someone in need of remedial help.

The words on the cover of the book are misleading. The words in the book were far less challenging. My child whizzed through the book but I wonder how much she actually learned.

This is a really good way to increase your childs vocabulary and teach them Grammar in the process. I recommend this book if your wanting something to supplement English.

This book is a big help for homeschooling. Getting my 5th grade boy to read is like pulling teeth, so this book goes a long way to improve his vocabulary and recall of words. The exercises are challenging enough, but not too long.

Some of the words don't match well with the definition. One example is the word cumbersome, the synonym given is clumsy, instead of awkward or unwieldly.

i really like this vocab book. The words are appropriate and useful to 5th graders. The exercises that reinforce the use of the words is fun and interesting. It's easy to make a weekly packet with each chapter. I also use these words for spelling. I've looked through several books and this is my favorite so far...

Since my favorite book stores have been closing, I have been searching for educational books online. What a treasure trove! I am so pleased with this book. Thank you.

I have the grades 3, 4, and 5. All are excellent, as they start out with each word and then build up the complexity of the skill needed to finish the problem. There are matching problems, fill in the blanks, and also puzzles to do, based on the word. All are short so are not boring. I think they help build up the child's vocabulary.

This is a must have for parents. We use this book on a daily basis.
