The World of Words
by Margaret Ann Richek
Category: Language Arts & Disciplines

This text aims to develop vocabulary skills by teaching students three basic strategies: dictionary skills, context clues, and word elements, all within an approach that links students' general knowledge to vocabulary and helps students see that vocabulary is relevant to their lives. Unifying themes for each chapter are central to the author's approach, as are the carefully paced lessons and exercise sequences. The text includes readings on subjects from across the disciplines and supplies information that is of use to students in their other or future coursework.
