Used,But could not tell!

I ordered my Academic Vocabulary book from MaxBooks, and let me tell you,for a book that was once used, i could not tell! It's in such great shape i would of never thought of this book once being used by a student in and out of class! And it came on such great timing! Thanx so much Maxbooks! =0)

These vocab. books perfect for homeschool!

I got this vocabulary book at our local junior college bookstore for my middle school student to use. It is wonderful, and now I am looking at the others in the series. Sort of series anyway. It says this is for the highest reading level books, but my 7th grader has no problems with any of the reading or vocab. words. They are mostly new words to her. I would hope college students would be able to do this with no problem. The chapters are short, we finish one a week, and varied, like music, or theater, or history, etc. They are set up so you can do a lesson a day for maybe 4 days a week. The only odd thing is their analogies, which we skip, not like most analogies and without a teacher guide I do not know what they are looking for. That is only once every few chapters anyway. Oh, and it is strange to have to match a photo to a vocabulary word that really isn't something concrete that can be pictured! Great for home school though.
