The book works like this. The book is divided into 30 units with 10 words each. Every page includes one word, with its part of speech, a short definition, a cartoon illustrating the word, and two or three sentences illustrating the word’s use in context. Also included is a list of synonyms and antonyms for each word. At the end of each unit, there is a review to test your knowledge learned. The answers are provided at the end of the book for easy grading.
VocabAhead is an affordable resource the is available through Amazon for just $12.95. The DVD option is priced a bit more at $24.95 and is also available through Amazon. While I think this may be a great resource for increasing your vocabulary, I was a bit taken back with some of the illustrations and sentences. While not all of the examples were bad, there were a few questionable ones that made me raise my brow and try to give another sentence or illustration.
