Ikram's Advanced Vocabulary Builder is designed around the observation that the best way to learn new words is to see them used in real-world contexts. In this book you will read interesting passages and dialogs mainly taken from classical novels to accurately learn and retain the meaning of words important for SAT, GRE and TOEFL students. Additionally, all of the words are provided with comprehensive dictionary definitions. Words with difficult and confusing pronunciations are provided with American IPA pronunciation guides. An index of all of the words is provided at the end of the book to help readers quickly test their learning and easily lookup the usage examples and definitions of words that require reviewing.
"To guarantee students have a working knowledge of appropriate vocabulary before entering secondary school, educators need to establish an effective vocabulary program in their schools and classrooms. In Teaching Basic, Advanced, and Academic Vocabulary: A Comprehensive Framework for Elementary Instruction, author Robert J. Marzano provides elementary educators with a comprehensive framework for vocabulary instruction. Marzano defines three different tiers of vocabulary terms: (1) Tier 1 terms are those words that are frequently used in the English language, (2) Tier 2 terms appear less frequently, and (3) Tier 3 terms are specific to grade level and subject area. By organizing these terms into semantic clusters and subject areas, Marzano creates a powerful and unique approach to ensuring students build their vocabulary. By reading this book, K-5 teachers will obtain the tools and strategies needed to construct a solid foundation for literacy development in their classrooms"--
