240 Vocabulary Words Kids Need to Know, Grade 4: 24 Ready-to-reproduce Packets That Make Vocabulary Building Fun & Effective

I love this vocab book! It has multiple pages for the same words so you can continue to use the book each day throughout the week for the same words. If you don't want to, you don't have to create additional pages or games to create more content to increase repetition. The book presents the words in many different ways, for example sometimes it asks what the synonym is for a word, and the child has to choose the correct vocabulary word. Or it might as for the antonym, or describe the word. It might put it into a list of other various words and ask which one doesn't belong etc. Very nicely done workbook for vocabulary and my son always came away understanding the meanings.

So glad I purchased these. Before I came across this book, my kids tried the word ladder books. While interesting in concept the word ladders miss out on three things that this vocab workbook does well. 1). It gives a single word meaning to the listed words - this helps kids remember definitions quicker 2). There are at least three exercises for the same set of words; it allows the kids to apply the meanings in separate settings and registers the words in their mind. 3). It provides context to the words so they can be used correctly. In addition to the vocab books, I also have a spelling city account. After the kids practice two to three sets of words in this book, I create some fun exercises in spelling city with the same set of words that the kids practice throughout the week. After combining these two mediums, I have seen a remarkable improvement in my children's vocabulary.

Product easily aligned to curriculum and vocabulary development including synonyms, antonyms, Greek and Latin word basics, and words based in foreign languages. Worksheets provided allowed for opportunities to practice skills.

Great for homeschooling! The layout is perfect, explains definition, gives examples, bold certain words for learning. Will purchase more in the future!

I love this book. When I gave this book to my son he was very upset that I was giving him additional homework. After doing the first lesson, he asked me could he move on to the second one. After each lesson I give him a matching test and sometimes he knows the definitions of words without looking through the options. I'm very impressed with most activities that are in the book, and I highly recommend this book. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because there are a few activities that my son hated.

I really like how these books are set up. Each unit of ten words is self contained and revolves around a theme. There are several activities in which the words are used, and they do a pretty good job of making sure the words "stick". There are only a few types of activities and exercises, but they do vary from unit to unit, so they don't become predictable and tedious. I use these books with Story Cubes to mix things up and to have kids actually use the words in sentences. There's a lot of difference between the difficulty level of the third and fourth grade versions.

I am a private tutor, and I have used these vocabulary books with many students. They are useful not only for teaching vocabulary, but for many other skills students will need to complete their schoolwork, such as using context clues and following directions. Since the activities vary from one lesson to the next, I can use them to teach strategies for different school tasks, such as crossword puzzles, sorting, webs, etc.

Not a bad book, but needs a better proof read. Lots of typing mistakes......

Love the way they introduce new words.

have not used it yet, but came highly recommended by a friend

Very good book but price is very high

This is a good book for kids to learn vocabulary. The only thing I don't like is the delivery time. I received it after the date listed in the purchase window.

It's a good workbook to prepare for good writing.
