McGraw-Hill Education Vocabulary Grades 6-8, Second Edition

If you have a child or student who needs to focus on building vocabulary, this book is wonderful. It includes Latin and Greek root words, prefixes and suffixes, commonly confused words, and more! Each vocab list is short (10-15 words) and comes with 3 different exercises. If you combine the worksheets with Quizlet, students quickly and easily learn the words and can use them in sentences. I'm a private English tutor (former teacher), and I use this with my 5th-7th grade students all the time. My only complaint is that the book doesn't get harder as you work your way through it. It would be nice if it started out easy and then slowly progressed to harder words in order to challenge the students. Still, it is a wonderful book, and I highly recommend it!

I got these books for my twin boys, and they are working through them very quickly and retaining the information. It’s a great book to help them merge to the seventh grade!

This is an EXCELLENT resource. In our family, I purchased two copies and used one for my seventh grader to practice the words and complete the activities Monday-Wednesday each week, and the other copy was used as the assessment on Thursdays. We completed one lesson per week. My son has always struggled with spelling and definitions. Not only has his vocabulary improved, but he ENJOYS using this book! Do not hesitate to purchase this resource!

We're homeschooling and needed a way to introduce some new words quickly. This is great for that. Learn the words, do a few puzzles (and pick up some useful trivia along the way), review word types such as: synonyms, antonyms, homophones, heteronyms, etc. Quick, easy, and painless way to build a more robust vocabulary. No quizzes or tests in booklet...I make our own or have my son use the words in his writing assignments.

This book is awesome! Just started homeschooling because they are NOT teaching the things in public school that my child should ALREADY know! She was complaining about having to doing vocabulary. By the end of the first section (the first 4 pages) she knew 10 new vocabulary words and their meanings. Plus the synonyms for those words, and their meanings as well. I give this book high marks for that because she is a STUBBORN child that doesn't like learning! If they can accomplish that with her.....than other kids will do even better.

Bought for 13-year-old Homeschooler. Nice setup gives 10 definitions on first page of each lesson, followed by 3 quick pages of reinforcement, quick answer, multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions. Each 4 page lesson has a topic, like Antonyms, Synonyms, Greek Roots, Latin Roots, Easily Misspelled, Science terms, etc. The words covered are advanced, but not impossible, words you can really use. I like that each lesson relates vocabulary words with a theme, and gives a quick overview of different Language Arts skills with each lesson. My daughter appreciates the short answers, as she has a hard time with books that require lots of writing.

My son will be going into 7th grade. I purchased this workbook for him to work on during the summer. With school closures it’s important that he doesn’t fall too behind. This is his weakest subject so I was glad I found something to help him during his break. Answer key is in the back. Provided pics of chapter content. Many activities that will keep him busy. Activities are not too long therefore kids won’t get burnout quickly.

I like this book it is great for my 8th grader but the book came used. There are a few chapters that were completed which was disappointing. I just erased the answers but we can still see the answers that were written.

Excellent

Discovered over the last 4 years how important it is to have a decent vocabulary base. This will help to improve that with my 20 year old grandson who is with me for on line distance learning due to Covid. You can never have too broad a vocabulary and they don’t concentrate on it enough in school

Excellent for practicing vocabulary, especially for 11+ children. Children are able to do it on their own without parents’ help.

Product is as expected, looking forward to getting started using it

A good way to practice vocabularies.
