Teaching 6th Grade Vocabulary

Vocabulary Power Plus

Designed for students in grades 6-8, the middle school editions of Vocabulary Power Plus use the same techniques as the high school program, which has helped more than one million students succeed, but with less of a focus on the SAT and ACT.

With exercises that help students use words in context and make inferences, new two-part multiple-choice questions, and revised writing prompts and reading passages, Vocabulary Power Plus - Level 6 will give your middle school students a leg up on every element of language arts.

Vocabulary words include:

• Append
• Depreciate
• Hindrance
• Plummet
• Sublime
• And 310 more!
