We homeschool. It's great for what it is: a relatively inexpensive, exercise-based vocabulary-building workbook. It is not a spelling book. It's a lot of bang for the buck, and I must say I'm happy enough that I'm not looking for any more bang. My 4th grader can do it with relative ease and occasional challenges, and her vocab words creep into her daily life. I imagine it would be a great supplement for a kid in school because it's very focused and not a huge commitment time-wise. We are Christians, and I have never been offended by their reading selections (I believe all of them are non-fiction) or their sentences or their word usage. Completely satisfied.

My home schooled third grader just completed this booklet and it was exactly on task for his reading level. He found the words to be new but not challenging. He was confident when he was reading the definitions, moved through the lessons, and was able to complete each lesson in an hour (10 lessons took us 10 weeks to completed in our curriculum of vocabulary once a week.

I would recommend this for anyone with an 8 - 10 year old to build and strengthen their vocabulary. The lessons are repetitious and predictable. The only thing that changes is the words themselves and the stories that demonstrates how the words are used in an essay.

Each lesson starts out with the words and definitions, demonstrating when a word has multiple meanings, but the same spelling. The words are then compared to other words that could be synonyms or antonyms, followed by a crossword puzzle using the words to reinforce the word spelling and usage.
