Building a vocabulary can mean hours poring over a dictionary deciphering any number of unfamiliar new words. Yet, making new words part of an everyday vocabulary needn’t be a chore. This new addition to the Wiley Keys to Success series makes vocabulary-building a breeze. Not only does it provide simple steps and activities, it shows how words are put together, where they come from, and how to find their roots–and comes packed with useful diagrams and illustrations to clarify basic concepts. Chock-full of basic spelling rules and tips, this useful classroom and at-home tutor also includes definitions, pronunciation guides, and sample sentences for over 600 words commonly found on standardized tests.
