R.Kent Smith – Building vocabulary for college (8th edition)


BUILDING VOCABULARY FOR COLLEGE is a vocabulary worktext that helps students increase their academic vocabulary through a practical, reinforcing approach that promotes mastery of the words and word parts studied. Users love the book for its conciseness yet broadness of application, its focus on word parts, its non-condescending tone, and its emphasis on academic terms. The text begins by presenting the basics such as common prefixes, suffixes, and roots. The lessons in Section 1 alternate between those that introduce ten word parts and those that present ten challenging words (which appear on college aptitude tests) containing those word parts. Exercises in Part 1 ask students to work through matching, multiple-choice, sentence fill-in, and completing a passage sections. The lessons in Section 2 introduce terms from a variety of academic disciplines to help students succeed across the curriculum. Exercises in Part 2 include matching, sentence fill-ins, and completing a passage sections.Kindle textbooks are functionally equivalent to the print textbook. In some cases, individual items such as ancillary images or multimedia have been removed for digital delivery due to rights restrictions.
