Words are presented with dictionary-style definitions, and all
words are used in example sentences. Lists of "Familiar Words" and
"Challenge Words" are provided for each root to help all students
activate prior knowledge and keep advanced students on task.
Exercises include synonym/antonym, fill in the blank,
identification of incorrect usage, and analogies. Review activities
are provided.

Joining, Separation, Sight, The Other Senses, Emotions, and The
Shapes of Things. Some of the words presented in this book include:
infer, distort, inept, discern, exonerate, subjugate, retrospect,
