Description

Help your students improve their vocabularies with AbraVocabra, a book that makes teaching vocabulary easy and effective. The book includes 24 lists of 12 words taken from newspapers, magazines, and television. The words are practical ones that any reasonably educated person is likely to encounter. AbraVocabra, for Grades 6-9, includes "tip-off" sentences to help students figure out what the words mean; simple, student-friendly definitions; lots of ideas for getting the students to use, and thus learn, the words; interesting tests that do more than ask students to "regurgitate" definitions; and playing cards and instructions for playing the "Vocabra" game. AbraVocabra has everything a teacher needs to help students expand their vocabularies.
