This really helped me with my overall vocabulary. It also turned out to be fun, and some of the questions make you want to think really hard. I recommend it strongly for one who is studying for SAT exams etc...Although learning may not be fun for some of you, I think this might brighten your day! But honestly, every one of these Wordly Wise books have very important words that a worth while learning.
Book 1~ 3rd Grade & above
Book 2~ 4th grade & above
Book 3~ 5th grade & above
Book 4~ 6th grade-8th grade
Check it out!

This has been a fantastic vocabulary workbook for my homeschooled kids. The words are not far out words one would only encounter in obscure texts but words our kids will see in their future reading. The exercises help the kids in several ways: learn the definitions & spellings, see the words used correctly, and use & apply the words in a variety of ways that also prepare them for the SAT (e.g. word analogies). This is the best vocabulary workbook I have ever seen. I am an English teacher and have homeschooled for 9 years.

My kids have used this series for years! Teachers sometimes omit part C, which asks questions such as this: Which of the following can "abate"? (a) anger, (b) high winds, (c) silence, (d) applause. Answers to these are often open to debate, and some teachers do not like those gray areas. For the Gifted/Talented program in our area, they start with Book 2 in third grade. Homeschoolers should like these! (We are in public school but always get a "home" copy for the days when the school copy doesn't make it into the backpack.)

Really helped in vocabulary, but it was so biased! The most important topics of discussion for the book was women's rights and saving the planet.

Just what the teacher ordered. There were none in all of San Diego so I thought let me check with Amazon...you have not let me down. My grandaughter got one and I ordered an extra one for one of the poor parents that could not find it anywhere! Thank you!
