Summary

Academic Vocabulary is designed to accompany a reading text at the highest reading level. Readings cover academic subjects to prepare students for college. The chapters and exercises are scaffolded so that what has been presented in previous chapters is reinforced progressively as the student moves through the book. There are a number of exercises to stimulate different learning styles as well as to encourage cross-referencing of the words through different contexts. Self tests and games in each chapter round out the exposure for each vocabulary word. Word parts are covered in three chapters.
