CHICAGO, March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With schools closing across the country due to the Coronavirus, Vocabulary for Champions: Over 2,000 Words and Activities to Improve Your Reading, Writing, Speaking, Test-taking, and Resume-building Skills from Threshold Publishing is a comprehensive, yet affordable, vocabulary workbook that is a great way for students to stay abreast of their studies. For only $8.00 the complete workbook can be downloaded and printed from the author's website, or the paperback version can be purchased from Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble.com.

According to Publishers Weekly... "Longtime teacher Oswald assembles a genuinely useful and enjoyable vocabulary-building guide….This breezy, fast-moving, guide can help anyone looking to build their word power." Additionally, Midwest Book Review states… "Expertly organized and presented… making it ideal for use with middle school students, high schoolers, and adults, and a valued addition to personal, school, and community library Education & Vocabulary Building collections."

Without a strong vocabulary, a person's educational and employment opportunities are limited, especially in today's fast-paced, competitive, and global society.  With study after study showing the correlation between an extensive vocabulary and higher socio-economic status, the need for a strong vocabulary has never been more important. 

Great for or anyone looking to improve their vocabulary, including English language learners, Oswald's book is not meant to be just another vocabulary book but an inspirational and practical vocabulary-building tool grounded in the knowledge that an improved vocabulary can transform lives, help people perform better in school and on college entrance exams; perform better on employment applications, and acquire an edge over others with whom they will compete in life. The book contains over 2,000 words, quizzes, and word puzzles to help master important vocabulary along with Greek and Latin roots and commonly misused words. Unlike other vocabulary books, Oswald's book also includes core subject-area vocabulary, economics and personal finance vocabulary, and resume-building vocabulary, leading Publishers Weekly to state…"Teens and adults at all stages of life can benefit from this well-constructed workbook for learning mid-level English vocabulary." The subject-area vocabulary is especially useful with all the school students are currently missing.
