The best Vocabulary Series just got better.
With its signature words-in-context approach and abundance of lively, varied, and engaging activities, the Vocabulary Series has helped countless students expand their working vocabulary.
Featuring hundreds of fresh items, color photos, and updated design, this new print edition teaches 300 essential words suitable for students reading at grade levels 12+.
The Words-in-Context Approach. Students learn new words by encountering them in meaningful contexts, not through rote memorization. Our books provide at least six different contexts for each vocabulary word!
Abundant Practice. Each book is packed with activities, exercises, unit reviews, and tests that prompt students to interact closely with each new vocabulary word. The result: students' word banks grow.
Appealing Content. Dull materials discourage learning. Our books avoid that. Each features high-interest passages students will want to read.
Relevant Words. Words from the series were drawn from word frequency lists with alignment to state standards and high-stakes tests. The aim: to equip students with the words they need to know.
