This book is a necessity for any middle school graduate! Memorizing the definitions in this book before entering into high school will definitely aid in the student's overall understanding of their lessons. Not only is the book helpful with word definitions, but it also a valuable aid for words with a tricky spelling or pronunciation. If your student does not have a solid understanding of words such as: formidable, labyrinth, or commemorate, you should get them this handy guide.
I like that it is a small paperback. Large enough print. It lists 100 words that freshman will need to know. Can be used as a base for a homemade vocabulary study. What I don't like is there is no teaching ideas, it's just like a dictionary and that's all.
It is easy to use. I use it with my 8th grade students. It includes terms, definitions, and examples, etc.
Our Grand kids just ate it up! Great stuff!
