Product Description
The Vocabulary Teacher’s Book of Lists offers content for literally hundreds of vocabulary improvement lessons for elementary and secondary teachers, self-improving adults, home schoolers, and students studying for their SATs. While there are dozens of shorter high interest lists of words, the core of the book is based on Latin and Greek roots and prefixes. But the largest list is Homophones. In fact it is one of the largest lists of homophones you will ever use. This list, like many others, is appropriate for spelling lessons or writer’s reference as well as vocabulary improvement.There are two dozen teaching methods in the Methods chapter and teaching suggestions to help improve reading and writing are scattered throughout the book. The lessons can be as short as a word-a-day or as long as a school year. The range of difficulty can go from upper elementary to college freshman classes, and be as diverse as adult education to English language learners.

I found this book to be very helpful. It gave me great lists of prefixes, suffixes, latin and greek roots, etc. It also separated these into subject areas. It is a very good reference tool and guide for me in the classroom.
 Excellent resource for building vocabulary! June 29, 2007

This is a comprehensive vocabulary book that covers interesting lists [capitonyms, SAT vocab, oxymorons etc], roots, word origins, subjects [scientific roots, emotions, sports etc], writing, foreign words [exonyms], spelling, abbr, phonics, measurement & geography, methods, affixes & roots, & homophones. I would recommend using this book together with the Writing Teacher's Book of Lists.
Excellent Resource for ESL Adult Ed Instructors July 13, 2007

My students, a class of 25 Korean students learning English after already having completed university degrees overseas, rate this product very high for its compact, precise presentation of information that is not often found in texts. Bravo!
A very useful resource for teachers of all levels July 1, 2008
This book provided me with so much information, most of which I found useful in planning and teaching a vocabulary improvement class in a community college. It has material that an English or reading teacher can use in elementary, middle or high school. I especially liked the mini-dictionary of roots, prefixes and suffixes, but I found that many of the lists were very helpful. If you teach English or Language Arts, this is a good reference book for both your classroom and for you own information.
