"Edward Fry has the uncanny as well as canny (choose your word)
ability to take a complex concept?in this case vocabulary?and
present it in a form useful to students and teachers."

Allen Berger, Heckert Professor of Reading and Writing, Miami
University

"The Vocabulary Teacher?s Book of Lists will serve as an
invaluable reference tool to any instructor involved in teaching
English or designing project work. The content spans the grades
from 4th up to college and is characteristic of Edward Fry?s
contribution to be both comprehensive and creative."

Pat Costigan, learning consultant, Bordentown Regional School
District, New Jersey

"Teachers who want to mix test-prep with life-success-prep will
welcome The Vocabulary Teacher?s Book of Lists as an
easy-to-use resource for lively lessons. They?ll enjoy the wry
humor of Dr. Edward Fry?s teaching suggestions as he marries word
work to wordplay."

Lee Mountain, professor, curriculum and instruction, College of
Education, University of Houston

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.
