Description
Distinguishing Words offers a unique alternative to traditional vocabulary books by approaching vocabulary acquisition through the study of synonym groups rather than words lists or through Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes. By learning new vocabulary through the study of synonym groups, readers relate new words to a centrally shared meaning, learn the definition of each individual word in the group, and compare meaning between the words. This structure allows readers to distinguish between words to make critical, correct vocabulary choices whenever they speak, read, or write. Each chapter presents a list of synonymous nouns, adjectives, and verbs as new words for study. Utilizing lessons, exercises, readings, and discussion questions, Distinguishing Words gives readers the tools they need to not only sharpen their vocabularies but also to decipher shades of meaning. For those interested in developing their vocabulary skills.
