Description

Designed to be used in an intermediate or more advanced reading class that has moved beyond the basics of comprehension, [this book] takes a contextual approach to teaching vocabulary. Each chapter introduces ten words linked by a common theme, such as behavior, food, or arguments. This thematic approach makes it easy for students to compare and contrast words that are related in meaning or structure and gives them several strategies to mentally link and learn the 240 words introduced in the text. In particular, it gives them multiple ways to anchor both words and meanings in long-term memory.-Back cover.
