Meaning Matters: Vocabulary

The Vocabulary workbook provides instruction and activities in six areas: context clues, metaphors and similes, idioms, homophones, roots and affixes, and using the dictionary. Each unit begins by providing instruction on how to strengthen the target vocabulary skill or strategy. The final unit consists of three non-fiction passages, each followed by a set of questions that provides an overall review of the skills and strategies covered in the workbook. An answer key is included at the back of the workbook.
