Building Your Vocabulary (Hardcover)

Using language arts standards from states across the country, Terban familiarizes kids with word origins, word parts, context clues, synonyms and antonyms, and more. Rather than merely list words to memorize, he shows kids how to acquire skills critical to improving and expanding their vocabulary. He also discusses eponyms (people and places that become words); meanings of common prefixes, suffixes, and roots; and dictionaries and thesauruses.
