Achieving success in this more challenging world requires knowing many more words. \n\u003cem\u003e100 Words Every Middle Schooler Should Know\u003c\/em\u003e helps students in grades 6 to 8 (ages 11-14) to express themselves with distinction and get the most out of school. \n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 100 words are varied and interesting, ranging from verbs like muster and replenish to nouns like havoc and restitution to adjectives like apprehensive and imperious. Knowing these words enables students to express themselves with greater clarity and subtlety. Each word has a definition and a pronunciation and appears with at least one quotation--a moving or dramatic passage--taken from a book that middle schoolers are assigned in the classroom or enjoy reading on their own. \n\u003cbr\u003eBoth classic and contemporary works of fiction and nonfiction are represented. Among the authors are young adult favorites and award-winners such as Kate Di Camillo, Russell Freedman, Neil Gaiman, E.L. Konigsberg, Lois Lowry, Walter Dean Myers, Katherine Paterson, J. K. Rowling, and Gary Soto. Readers can see for themselves that the words are used by the very best writers in the very best books. It stands to reason that they will see them again and again in higher grades and throughout their lives. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e100 Words Every Middle Schooler Should Know\u003c\/em\u003e helps students to gain useful knowledge and prepares them to step into a broader world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLJ Best Reference Sources\u003c\/span\u003e 11\/15\/2009 pg. 30 (EAN 9780547333229, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eEditors of the American Heritage Di\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARIES \u003c\/strong\u003eare a team of professional lexicographers with advanced degrees in various scholarly fields.
