McGraw-Hill Education Vocabulary Grades 6-8, Second Edition

Really like this workbook for my son during summer time.

I got these books for my twin boys, and they are working through them very quickly and retaining the information. It’s a great book to help them merge to the seventh grade!

If you have a child or student who needs to focus on building vocabulary, this book is wonderful. It includes Latin and Greek root words, prefixes and suffixes, commonly confused words, and more! Each vocab list is short (10-15 words) and comes with 3 different exercises. If you combine the worksheets with Quizlet, students quickly and easily learn the words and can use them in sentences. I'm a private English tutor (former teacher), and I use this with my 5th-7th grade students all the time.My only complaint is that the book doesn't get harder as you work your way through it. It would be nice if it started out easy and then slowly progressed to harder words in order to challenge the students.Still, it is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it!

This book is fun and my daughter enjoys working on it because she likes to solve the puzzles at the end of each page. You have to complete the vocabulary questions to get the code to solve the puzzle. I do wish that they had more practice for each set of words in order to help the child to learn the meanings better. Some of the definitions are also overly complex but overall, this is a good book.

This book is awesome! Just started homeschooling because they are NOT teaching the things in public school that my child should ALREADY know!She was complaining about having to doing vocabulary. By the end of the first section (the first 4 pages) she knew 10 new vocabulary words and their meanings. Plus the synonyms for those words, and their meanings as well. I give this book high marks for that because she is a STUBBORN child that doesn't like learning! If they can accomplish that with her.....than other kids will do even better.

Bought for 13-year-old Homeschooler. Nice setup gives 10 definitions on first page of each lesson, followed by 3 quick pages of reinforcement, quick answer, multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions. Each 4 page lesson has a topic, like Antonyms, Synonyms, Greek Roots, Latin Roots, Easily Misspelled, Science terms, etc. The words covered are advanced, but not impossible, words you can really use. I like that each lesson relates vocabulary words with a theme, and gives a quick overview of different Language Arts skills with each lesson. My daughter appreciates the short answers, as she has a hard time with books that require lots of writing.

I used to teach my after school students with this book. Perfect vocabulary list for 7 graders.

This is an EXCELLENT resource. In our family, I purchased two copies and used one for my seventh grader to practice the words and complete the activities Monday-Wednesday each week, and the other copy was used as the assessment on Thursdays. We completed one lesson per week. My son has always struggled with spelling and definitions. Not only has his vocabulary improved, but he ENJOYS using this book! Do not hesitate to purchase this resource!
