Vocabulary & Spelling: British Tradition

Vocabulary & Spelling presents thirty-two lessons that cover a broad range of topics from etymology to context clues to spelling patterns. It is essential that vocabulary instructions include a variety of strategies to develop students' word-study skills.

Each lesson in Vocabulary & Spelling includes the following components:
- A Word of the Week highlights a word that students may find particularly meaningful or interesting.
- Just For Fun activities encourage students to play with words, reminding them that language can be fun and interesting.
- Tip boxes in the margin throughout the lesson clarify definitions, offer additional information, and give helpful suggestions.
- A Time Out for Test Practice at the end of each unit provides students with the opportunity to assess what they have learned and to practice test-taking skills by answering sample standardized test questions in a multiple-choice format.
