Developing Vocabulary
DJ Henry • Susan Pongratz

With the promise of her explosive first edition reading series, DJ Henry’s vocabulary series is sure to recharge the skills-based vocabulary market.

Developing Vocabulary offers an unmatched use of textbook excerpts and academic readings to build a college-level vocabulary in the various academic disciplines. The authors treat students’ vocabulary as a developing word bank and augment their word knowledge to improve success across the disciplines. Students have a wealth of practice opportunity with exercises requiring exploration through context clues, word analysis, proper usage, and application.

Developing Vocabulary is perfectly aligned with its complementing text, DJ Henry’s The Skilled Reader. The tight integration benefits instructors by seamlessly combining the reading-skills text and vocabulary book, and gives students constant point-of-reference in learning.
