1ST Edition -MASTER VOCABULARY WORDS - LEARN 600 WORDS IN 3o LESSONS -DO WEEKLY QUIZZES

Vernon W. Jeffrey, MD, JD

Dear Students, Parents, Guardians, or Teachers: The fact that you have opened this book means one thing: you have a strong desire to improve.

Whether it is for a standardized exam (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.) or for your own self-improvement, you have realized that your vocabulary needs some major improvement.

Well, look no further. Vocab Victory will steer you on the track to improving your vocabulary.

I fashioned this book on the way that I was taught to learn vocabulary when I was in grade school. Every week we had to look up the words in a dictionary and write a sentence for each word to demonstrate that we understood the meaning. On Thus, this book offers proactive learning, as opposed to the passive style where you would try to memorize several worddefinition combinations in a book or on flashcards.

I have used this method with my own students, when I found that they were not remembering words using traditional methods, and found that their memory of words improved by writing the definition for each word.

This book is comprised of thirty lessons; each has twenty words for you to define and compose sentences with. There is a quiz after each lesson for you to demonstrate how well you have built your vocabulary.

Have fun and achieve victory with your learning.
