Interactive Vocabulary

By Amy E Olsen

KEY BENEFIT Interactive Vocabulary makes the study of vocabulary enjoyable. Through thematic readings, self-tests, and interactive exercises, readers can apply their skills to writing, personal experience, art, and many other formats that generate excitement about improving their vocabularies. Each activity plays on individual learning styles to help readers learn new words in a large number of contexts. The Sixth Edition retains the book's strong visual appeal, as well as its philosophy that an essential part of learning vocabulary is repeated exposure to a word. As a result, it provides eight to ten exposures to each vocabulary word throughout the book, plus additional instances in the review section and flash and word map activities throughout. With new readings and words, this edition of Interactive Vocabulary offers greater exposure to a more diverse wordbase than ever before.
