240 Vocabulary Words Kids Need to Know: Grade 5: 24 Ready-To-Reproduce Packets Inside!

Books so good, you can find so many useful words and phrases, especially when English not first language.

As a middle school teacher, I really like this series of vocabulary books. The words are categorized in interesting ways (for example, Words from Other Countries; Eponyms: People). The lessons are illustrated in a way that helps my students learn the words. And the last page of each lesson is always different: sometimes a puzzle, sometimes analogies, but always different and always something that kids enjoy. All in all, I am very pleased with this series.

Very helpful for kids to build vocabulary.

I am impressed with this vocabulary book. Each lesson is short, but full of rich vocabulary words taught in a simple, effective way. It has been a frustration free way of learning new words and using them correctly for my elementary age children. I have learned some new words, too! It covers topics as simple as synonyms and antonyms, and it goes as far as Greek and Latin roots and word parts. Definitely worth the few dollars.

The vocabulary words on the cover include archipelago and medevac, but inside the book there are also many more rudimentary words. I'd be very concerned if my own kids didn't know the majority of these words before age ten. "Guidebook" and "masterpiece" are in the compound word section, "foul" and "fowl" in the homophone section, "thermometer" and "sympathy" under Greek. I do like the way that the workbook has variety and presents vocabulary in different ways. There's a tic tac toe antonym game, an explanation and fill in the blank area for eponyms such as bologna and tuxedo, and a crossword puzzle for Greek roots. The relatively few words that I consider remotely challenging include isthmus, tributary, onomatopoeia, snafu, and alliteration. This would be a fun book for a second or third grader, an ESL student, or someone in need of remedial help.

It’s been perfect for homeschool
