Customer Reviews

So helpful, even 10 years later!

This is one of the best vocabulary programs I have seen, and I am thankful that I used it in high school. Anyone who homeschools or who is interested in giving their child a classical or liberal arts education should browse it. I still remember the book definitions of words like zephyr, mollify, ameliorate, and many others! During high school I thought Word Wealth words were silly, useless words, but in college I cam across them ALL THE TIME!!! Get this book!

You can actually gain from this book!

If this is the same book I had many years ago in my own high school days, I can proudly say it taught me a lot about the English language. We used to make small flashcards with the word on one side, and the meaning on the other, and quiz ourselves and others about them every week. It really does help, though I'm sure many students don't want to take the time to learn, and that would be unfortunate. At our school way back when, we had a stiff curriculum and I look back now with the realization that even while we hated it then, the final experiences will live with me forever, and that's a GOOD thing.

How to Really Learn Vocabulary

I too used this book in middle school in Humanities. It has proved incredible at providing me with an appropriate foundation for a well-articulated, thoughtful life. I owe much of my academic career to the presentation of vocabulary in Word Wealth, allowing me to present my ideas precisely and clearly. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wishes to communicate effectively.

GRE Words galore

In studying for the GREs I pulled this book off of my shelf and am amazed at how many "GRE" words there are. I also remember studying from Word Wealth in 8th Grade and think that it substatially improved my vocabulary, something that has stayed with me and has been very useful all of my life. Word wealth has 4 parts to it. The first two parts are easier vocabulary. The third part is a little tougher vocabulary, and the fourth part covers common word roots.

Great for learning useful vocabulary words

This book teaches you many words that are used in the in the everyday world.
