Publisher's Description of Word Smart (6th Edition)
Whether your goal is to get a competitive edge on a specific exam or simply to build your word knowledge, this updated sixth edition of Word Smart gives you the tools you need to transform your vocabulary and start using words with confidence!
WORD SMART, 6th EDITION includes:
- More than 1,400 vocab words that belong in every savvy student's vocabulary
- Lists of common word roots and usage errors
- Key terms you need to know to understand fields such as finance, science, and the arts
- Need-to-know vocab for standardized tests like the SAT and GRE
- Foreign phrases and abbreviations commonly encountered in reading or conversation
The words in this book come from a careful analysis of newspapers (from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal), magazines (from Time to Scientific American), and books from current bestsellers to classics. We also combed through the SAT and other standardized tests to determine which words are tested most frequently. We sifted out the words that most people know, and focused on words that most people misunderstand or misuse.
Category Description for Word Smart
High school students need a large and rich vocabulary. They get small does of it as they read literature, history, science and even their math books. Word Smart is a tool to focus on the most frequently used vocabulary terms found on the high-stakes exams. Growing a student's vocabulary improves their writing skills, speaking skills, as well as their confidence. Students learn tricks to memorize new words, discover how to make better use of a thesaurus, make effective flashcards, and break down etymological clues. Learners can even read some pages and give themselves the quick quiz to see how they did. Answers are in the back of the book. I love learning new words. I love using new words I learn too! This is a book you can pick up and put down as needed, making it a very practical resource. ~Sara
