Instructor's guide Building vocabulary for college

by R. Kent Smith

A highly-popular worktext for developmental readers, Building Vocabulary for College introduces a number of successful strategies for learning words and includes activities that will ensure students retain the material. The Fifth Edition has been revised to place greater emphasis on word parts (prefixes, suffixes, and roots) so that students actively apply this knowledge to master unfamiliar words.Building Vocabulary for College features practical vocabulary terms that appear frequently in advanced, college-level readings, on standardized tests, and across the curriculum. To prepare students for their course readings, Section Two focuses on academic terms from many different disciplines.

Updated exercises reinforce each group of words and ask students to complete matching, multiple choice, analogy, and sentence-writing questions. The number of computer science and legal terms in Section Two has been substantially increased.
