McGraw-Hill Education Vocabulary Grades 6-8, Second Edition 2nd Edition

If you have a child or student who needs to focus on building vocabulary, this book is wonderful. It includes Latin and Greek root words, prefixes and suffixes, commonly confused words, and more! Each vocab list is short (10-15 words) and comes with 3 different exercises. If you combine the worksheets with Quizlet, students quickly and easily learn the words and can use them in sentences. I'm a private English tutor (former teacher), and I use this with my 5th-7th grade students all the time.My only complaint is that the book doesn't get harder as you work your way through it. It would be nice if it started out easy and then slowly progressed to harder words in order to challenge the students.Still, it is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it!

I got these books for my twin boys, and they are working through them very quickly and retaining the information. It’s a great book to help them merge to the seventh grade!

This is an EXCELLENT resource. In our family, I purchased two copies and used one for my seventh grader to practice the words and complete the activities Monday-Wednesday each week, and the other copy was used as the assessment on Thursdays. We completed one lesson per week. My son has always struggled with spelling and definitions. Not only has his vocabulary improved, but he ENJOYS using this book! Do not hesitate to purchase this resource!

We're homeschooling and needed a way to introduce some new words quickly. This is great for that. Learn the words, do a few puzzles (and pick up some useful trivia along the way), review word types such as: synonyms, antonyms, homophones, heteronyms, etc. Quick, easy, and painless way to build a more robust vocabulary. No quizzes or tests in booklet...I make our own or have my son use the words in his writing assignments.

This book is awesome! Just started homeschooling because they are NOT teaching the things in public school that my child should ALREADY know!She was complaining about having to doing vocabulary. By the end of the first section (the first 4 pages) she knew 10 new vocabulary words and their meanings. Plus the synonyms for those words, and their meanings as well. I give this book high marks for that because she is a STUBBORN child that doesn't like learning! If they can accomplish that with her.....than other kids will do even better.

Bought for 13-year-old Homeschooler. Nice setup gives 10 definitions on first page of each lesson, followed by 3 quick pages of reinforcement, quick answer, multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions. Each 4 page lesson has a topic, like Antonyms, Synonyms, Greek Roots, Latin Roots, Easily Misspelled, Science terms, etc. The words covered are advanced, but not impossible, words you can really use. I like that each lesson relates vocabulary words with a theme, and gives a quick overview of different Language Arts skills with each lesson. My daughter appreciates the short answers, as she has a hard time with books that require lots of writing.

I used to teach my after school students with this book. Perfect vocabulary list for 7 graders.

I bought this book for my 4th grader. This is the right level for her since she is quite strong in her vocabulary for her grade. I was looking for a vocabulary lesson book that can be challenged for her and she won't feel too overwhelmed. This book is perfect for her. She loves it very much and find it very interesting and can't stop working on the exercises every night. I highly recommend this book.
