Three thousand carefully selected words taken from literature,
textbooks, and SAT-prep books are the basis of this exciting
vocabulary series that teaches new words through reading,
writing, and a variety of exercises. Each lesson's alphabetized
word list gives pronunciations, parts of speech, and concise
definitions, and uses each word in a sentence. Interesting,
engaging, and acting as a mnemonic anchor for the word,
