Looking for a more effective way to teach vocabulary? Imagine a program so engaging and memorable that your students are clamoring to work ahead!

Each book in the Vocabulary in Context series—Wilderness Survival, The History of Hip-Hop, and Mysteries, Curiosities & Wonders—introduces over 125 vocabulary words in high-interest reading passages and uses classroom-proven lessons to make sure students remember the words they encounter.

This approach gives students the chance to first infer each unfamiliar word’s meaning based on the surrounding text.

After they read, students tackle a variety of exercises, including sentence completion and reading comprehension questions, to reinforce word acquisition.

Vocabulary in Context will help you meet your nonfiction and informational text reading requirements, while also teaching new vocabulary words through passages that even your most reluctant readers will love.

Vocabulary in Context strengthens students’ word-attack skills with:

  • High-interest, themed nonfiction passages
  • Academic and domain-specific word lists
  • Words-in-context practice activities
  • Roots, prefixes, and suffixes lessons
  • Reading comprehension and analysis exercises
