Build life-long vocabulary skills with a semantic approach. Students get in-depth practice with word relationships in six essential skill areas. Each book in this best-selling set has:

clear, concise directions designed for students with limited language proficiency
vocabulary taken from graded vocabulary lists familiar to most students
a pretest/posttest
minimal demands for spelling and writing
appealing, one-page lessons with a variety of instruction formats

Each book targets a specific social language skill. The 6-book set consists of:

Antonyms- Students learn the relationship of words that have opposite meanings as they match pictures and words that have opposite meanings and identify and name antonyms.
Associations-Students learn to recognize associations between words and to organize vocabulary by word associations. Activities teach them to make associations by color, shape, function, actions, category, synonyms, antonyms, and rhyme.
Attributes- Matching, naming, and sorting activities teach students to use words to describe things in many different ways.
Categories- Students learn the many ways items can be grouped and that one thing can belong to many different categories.
Concepts- Students master concepts encountered in school: quantity, degree/intensity, numbers, time/sequence, addition/subtraction, calendar and dates, and space/direction.
Synonyms- Teach students that synonyms are words that mean the same thing with shades of differences. They'll sort, match, and give appropriate synonyms for a variety of words.
