Building an Active Vocabulary helps students develop their reading and writing vocabularies by showing new words in memorable contexts. Exercises ask students to use these new words in their writing and speaking.

The text shows how to figure out the meaning of new words from contexts; how to use word parts; how to use a dictionary and a thesaurus efficiently and profitably; and how to improve writing through expanded vocabulary.

The exercises in Building an Active Vocabulary are taken from college-level texts as well as “real-world” sources such as magazines and newspapers.

  • Exercises expose students to new words in different, memorable contexts, increasing the likelihood of recall.
  • Reading Selections from College Level Texts allows students to practice vocabulary-building skills on suitably challenging materials.
  • Brief Chapters that include Previews, Review Exercises, and Answers to Exercises allow students to work through the text on their own.
  • Emphasis on Mnemonics gives students ample helpful strategies to choose from.
  • Emphasis on College Dictionary as a memory aid provides students with useful and efficient strategies.
  • Post Tests at the end of all units (3 per unit) allow teachers and students to monitor progress.
  • Pronunciation Key located at the end of text enables students to look up pronunciations of any words highlighted in text.
  • Glossaries of words and word parts featured in the text are available for handy reference.
