Don't be fooled by the changed cover or the fact that it is listed as published August, 2014. I have had this book for several years. I thought that this was an updated version to common core as the front image of the book says correlated to current state standards. Imagine my surprise when I opened the book this evening to the first lesson and found it was the same book I have had, just with a different cover. Very disappointing.
I was worried about my son's vocabulary before one of my friend recommended this workbook to us. This book contains focused practice for vocabulary development, such as analogies, multiple-meaning words, passage-level context, domain-specific vocabulary, roots and affixes. My son really liked the test-taking practice section and the answer key. This book really helped my son to systematically build and strengthen vocabulary and comprehension skills. He's already seeing how the techniques help him in his normal school work. He is now probably the top language student in his class. In the Beestar online tests (a wonderful web site beestar.org), he is ranked high in the honor roll. I'm very pleased with this book.
My son enjoys these quick lessons. My only complaint is that there was a typo in the very first lesson. It was a classification exercise and their answer to what class a sea turtle is was amphibian. Sea turtles are reptiles.
Love it. Very easy to follow.
The book is very good. My grand child enjoys using it. She always wants to do exercise from it.
