Vocabulary Power Plus: Science of Reading

Improve literacy skills with powerful vocabulary instruction.

Research into literacy shows that developing a powerful vocabulary is critical in allowing students to read at or above grade level. But the kind of vocabulary instruction they receive matters. That’s why Vocabulary Power Plus remains a top choice for amplifying core language skills for students at all levels of learning.

Updated for 2024, this series takes a direct approach to vocabulary instruction as supported by the science of reading, ensuring that students retain the words they learn for life. Every chapter includes even more reading comprehension activities alongside classroom-tested vocabulary drills and test prep exercises that teachers trust. New graphic organizers and links to online audio files add another dimension to vocabulary study.

This new edition of Vocabulary Power Plus is backwards compatible with previous workbooks and covers the same word lists. You’ll find all of the original materials in the Teacher’s Edition, including grammar and writing exercises modeled after those on standardized tests.
