Vocabulary Practice is a s e r i e s of six graded workbooks. It is a comprehensive word study programme that incorporates a wide range of vocabulary and language activities to expand students’ knowledge of words, their meanings and correct usage. The books cover different aspects of word study, including word forms and grammatical concepts. There are activities on sentence construction and creative writing designed to allow students to apply what they have learnt. The varied, fun and challenging activities not only help to sustain students’ interest but also to develop their thinking skills and general knowledge.
