This book is designed around a simple principle: information is more easily assimilated when you have context. Words Organized by Theme Rather than studying random or alphabetized lists of words (which are quite arbitrary when it comes to how words are related), in this edition the words are organized into lists based on common concepts or themes. Themes are noted on the top right of the page. This should, on its own, make the words easier to retain. For example, if you forget what languid means but remember that it belongs to the list of words related to sloth, youll know that it probably has something to do with laziness or lacking energy.

This way of organizing words affords a few study options. For example, you can study related groups of words like speech, expression, and writing or opposite pairs of words like success and failure to build ever larger frameworks of context. A natural consequence of organizing words by common meaning is that you will encounter many words with similar or identical meanings. So, while working through exercises, do not be disturbed by the fact that while you used one word to answer a question, a synonymous word is listed as the answer. If your answer is synonymous with the correct answer, both answers are correct! Notable Roots Another feature of this book is the list of notable roots that follows each days words. This includes roots, prefixes, and suffixes found in your vocabulary words that can also be found in other words.

This gives you yet another context for study: groups of words that share common roots. Weekly Study Program The book is organized into 46 weeks of study, each containing four lists of six words to be studied during the week and a series of review exercises for the fifth day (or weekend if you prefer). Review exercises not only cover that weeks words, but also periodically review words learned on previous weeks. This brings up an important pointsuccess with vocabulary study comes through repetition. Each days words should be reviewed a few times throughout the day, and past words need to be studied and used in order for them to stick.
