| I bought this workbook for my precocious 9-year old, and she jumped right into the first chapter and enjoyed it immensely. Each chapter begins with a list of about 20 vocabulary words, which are defined. Several forms of the word are offered as well as different meanings. Then the student is asked to perform various multiple choice and sentence completion activities using the words in context. Finally a passage using the words is introduced, after which the student is asked to answer questions that require an understanding of the vocabulary words and the passage. This book is just the right level for my fourh-grader, but is probably intended for use in grades 5-6. My only criticism is that not all definitions are given for a vocabulary word. For example, the word "pedestrian" is defined as a noun, but the meaning of the adjective is not provided. Perhaps the author felt this was too advanced for the level, but I disagree. All-in-all, this is an effective tool for building your child's vocabulary. It's certainly enjoyable for those children who love to learn new words. |
