 A wonderful addition to any teacher's library....a must have August 26, 1999

As a newly certified teacher I have accumulated quite a few books on education. This book is a must have for any teacher...experienced or new. It is divided up into many sections which makes referencing easy. It includes any and all information you need to make lesson planning cohesive and reliable. From onomatopeia to vowel sounds, I highly recommend this book. It is worth every penny!!!

I write educational materials. Before I found this book, I spent hours making lists of words to suit different requirements, Now I can spend that time in more creative ways. This volume doesn't contain ready-to-use activities, but it is jam-packed with the raw materials necessary to create them. For example, you can plug the lists into crossword, word search, or multiple choice question-generating software to generate an endless variety of effective teaching exercises.
Write in it! Play with it! Use it daily! August 25, 2006

This jewel caught my eye as I was browsing Barnes & Nobel. I winced at the price ($29.95) but while perusing the book my brain began filling with flashes of inspiration, creative neurons popped like fireworks, and I was hooked. Plus, it would look pretty on my book shelf.
I did well! This tome has all the lists I regularly create (forgetting that I already made - and misplaced - two years ago), all the ones I haven't because I can't, and scores I would have never thought of.
The "Content Words" section is exceptional, covering math, science, social studies, and geography vocabulary. Quiz the kids to see what they remember over summer!
We are having a blast with the "most commonly used words in the English language" section. We do for-fun spelling tests off of the words, in numerical order. My girls were dismayed to find themselves missing words in the first 100 most common words, and quite proud that they were both pulling 100%'ers on words 351-400.
Do you need Greek and Latin roots? Teacher's correction marks? Braille, Morse code, ASL? Prefixes, oxymorons, or sesquipedalian superstars? How about a little onomatopoeia and palindrome word play? As a brain-warmer book - something to start the gears shifting in the morning - it's fun. You can find enough thought-provokers, ego-boosters, and giggle-makers to roust any sluggish student (or teacher).
This book is a wonderful resource for teachers. December 21, 1998

This is a wonderful resource for teachers working in the intermediate grades. The lists offer a vast base of knowledge for creating classroom games and for teaching vocabulary concepts such as compound words, prefixes, suffixes, and sight words, to name just a few. It is a must for those teaching reading.

This is a quite helpful book. I don't think it's really that indispensable... i mean, it isn't packed with activity ideas, like i thought it would be. But it does have lots of great information in it for reference.
