I was not that impressed with this vocabulary book. It came highly recommended for ELL students. The words were good words, but many of the exercises were very difficult for me, an English teacher that is a native English speaker, to do. Again, the word lists were ok and if you are looking for an idea of where to start, this can help you with that, but so can other books.

As an ESL teacher, my students are always telling me how they need to build their vocabulary. Sure, someone can do this by reading more. But, non-native English speakers are often confused by many common English words.
This book has 504 vocabulary words that native speakers use often, but which can be confusing to non-native English speakers.
With clear but simple definitions, examples and exercises, people who read this book can easily build their useful English vocabulary.

This is the book i highly recommend for middle school students to increase their vocabulary. It has words that are higher level, but not outrageously so. It just concentrates on vocabulary words, not words a student needs for multiple subjects...just high-use words. The activities are good reinforcement and practice. Try this book first and don't waste your money on others for this this age group.

2 of the reviewers used the word "learnt"!!! Think they should learn that's not a word... apparently not covered in the book :)
