Expand working vocabulary using 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
a pretest/posttest
light demands for reading and writing
a variety of learning formats including matching, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, games, and more

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

Antonyms- Learn the relationship of words that have opposite meanings. Identify adjective, noun, verb, and adverb antonyms, replace antonyms in sentences, use antonyms in sentences, and complete antonym analogies.
Associations- Recognize associations between words and organize vocabulary by word associations such as category association, association by function, homonyms, exclusion, word-topic association, and more.
Multiple-Meaning Words- Increase flexibility in vocabulary and thinking by recognizing and using multiple meanings for words. Match words and meanings, switch meanings in sentences, and generate multiple meanings for words.
Roots, Prefixes and Suffixes- Learn that words are made up of smaller parts that have meaning and impact the total word. Understand the function of the root word, prefix and suffix; identify the root; and use the parts to make words.
Synonyms- Learn that synonyms are words that mean the same thing with shades of differences. Recognize a true synonym and how the slight differences in meaning influence usage.
Word Origins- Learn eight ways words come into the English vocabulary: word origin, compound words, blended words, acronyms, clipped words, eponyms, slang, and cultural and regional vocabulary.
