Excellent vocabulary booster
Customer Rating:
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.
not as great as I'd hoped
Customer Rating:
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.
a good resource, but too basic for grade 5
Customer Rating:
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.
