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.

The subject-area vocabulary is especially useful with all the school students are currently missing.
