Words Are Wonderful Book a Teacher's Edition

Subtitled "An Interactive Approach to Vocabulary," this complete vocabulary program takes the study of words to a deeper and more well-rounded level than other programs that simply supply the student with a list of new words to learn and repetitive exercises to use them. Words are Wonderful instead focuses on presenting new words in context and placing an emphasis on meaningful parts of words, including prefixes, suffixes, and inflectional endings. This offers students an opportunity to dissect words, play with them, and understand the complex relationships between different words and parts of words. Students become word investigators, taking an active approach in vocabulary building, all the while learning strategies to help them figure out the meanings of words they are not familiar with.
