Wordplay was given to my 9th grade son and he enjoyed them. He usually cannot listen to tapes but he found this very entertaining.

Humerous Stories But Too Many Simplistic Words/Idioms
+5 for stories but -4 word selection I enjoyed the humerous plays - great writing/acting - and agree that these are words you need to know, but I'd assume you already do unless English is a 2nd lang. If you don't know Technology, Perceive, Compound, Drudgery, Implore, Tinge, Badger, Realm, indiscriminate, (some of the 17 target words from the 1st play, act 1), then...

Humerous Stories But Too Many Simplistic Words/Idioms,
By JR35@webtv.net (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Word Play: 600 Words You Need to Know with Book (Audio Cassette)
+5 for stories but -4 word selection I enjoyed the humerous plays - great writing/acting - and agree that these are words you need to know, but I'd assume you already do unless English is a 2nd lang. If you don't know Technology, Perceive, Compound, Drudgery, Implore, Tinge, Badger, Realm, indiscriminate, (some of the 17 target words from the 1st play, act 1), then this would likely be a good tape for you. Many idioms are also covered. Typical level of difficulty are the 3 from the 2nd play, "cold feet", "keep a stiff upper lip", and "look a gift horse in the mouth". One or two words per story are at a more difficult level like prognosticate, nefarious, pique, but why endure all the definitions of elementary words/idioms when WordBuilders is available? Tip to authors: Lose the idioms, introduce only 7 or 8 words per act, and select more advanced words. Your stories were the best!

This review is from: Word Play: 600 Words You Need to Know with Book (Audio Cassette)
Harsh, annoying, dull. Could not make it through all the tapes. Found it to be a grade school level.
