100 Words Every Middle Schooler Should Know https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0547333226/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_PGjIDbTAXSBBC

ex = out (of)

sanguin = blood

Had Word Within the Word force-fed to me from grades 7 through 12.

It's actually proven to be quite handy. We were taught suffixes, prefixes, and words that were (at the time) strange.

I've been using the "Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots" series for a few years now. I think having that underlying understanding of roots, suffixes, and prefixes is invaluable, and these workbooks do that well. Plus, the quantity and quality of exercises seems to be sufficient to give (my) students sufficient mastery to pass a quiz on a new list of words every 2 weeks or so.

Hi! Thanks for holding this contest!

http://www.amazon.com/Vocabulary-Workshop-Level-Jerome-Shostak/dp/0821571125/ref=wl_it_dp_v_nS_nC/192-2129834-0713553?ie=UTF8&colid=JVBSWDSMLOPX&coliid=I3Q8OPE09L0IAU This was on my summer reading list for my AP English class. I guess it's for improving my vocabulary. Also Chuck Finley!

Edit: Oops! I don't think this is in the price range. If I win you could buy it used.

Don't waste your time with that crap, unless that is effective for you. For me, whenever I read I gloss over words I don't know or can't pronounce. If you do this at all then reading won't increase your vocabulary.



For me, what worked was creating a mental picture of the definition based on the pronunciation of the word. The more personalized and outrageous the better. That last part on being personalized and crazy is key.


For example, truculent means "eager or quick to argue or fight; aggressively defiant." To me it sounds like "truck-you-lent" so I picture a guy driving a semi truck which costs like 400K who owns the truck, but works for a shipping company. He lends his truck out, but the guy doesn't give it back and so the big burly truck driver is pissed and eager to fight and argue.


I practice recalling the key phrase "truck-you-lent" and associated picture incorporating the definition. After three times I just know the definition without really being able to articulate it well. Its just in there, but it takes struggling and recalling it ~3 times over a 2 week period.


I have a database of GRE words with descriptions of pictures that I have been working on in hopes of writing a book based on the above idea someday. PM if you want me to send it to you.


Also, check out these books for ideas and even words. They tend to be simple SAT words but you need to know them as well for the GRE.

Previous post:

>They don't really have that great if a midfield and apart from pjanic and maybe Can none of them really fit Sarris playing style

Then in my reply:

>Khedira I doubt will get minutes. Matuidi def doesn't fit sarris system. Dybala doesn't play midfield. I forgot about Ramsey tho

So from my fucking post, pjanic, MAYBE Can and Ramsey are great midfielders that also fit Sarris style. At that moment they didnt sign Rabiot. The fucking Graphic is literally Ramsey, Rabiot and Pjanic. Two fucking mids i already mentioned were quality.

Then in my post that you replied to:

>Having quantity in midfielders don't mean they have quality. The current lineup of midfielders are quality. Apart from 1 other in the bench they aren't worth anything compared to other top 5 clubs

Their current lineup, which i ALREADY said was good and fit sarris style, was never up for debate.
