TP VOCABULARY SERIES
The problem is a familiar one: students don't know enough words. TP's sequence of vocabulary books uses a words-in-context approach to help students master the words they need to know. And they truly learn the words because each is presented in up to ten different contexts. The results are improved reading and writing skills and better performance on standardized tests. Distinctive features of the Vocabulary Series include abundant practice, appealing content, a full-color design, free online exercises and tests, PowerPoint presentations, and very reasonable prices.
