Vocabulary Power Plus Classic Level Nine Paperback – June 29, 2004

I bought this to help my son prepare for the SATs. It was helpful and he felt confident once he went through the book. It's rather a short book for SAT vocabulary but I think it's to the point and can be used as a reference book. Delivery was awesome it came sooner than expected basically next day.

I highly recommend the Power Plus series... we purchased Book H and Book 1. It is better than most other vocabulary books or flashcards.This was really a book for teachers to use in classrooms... but as a parent I found it to be excellent.For the answers... I contacted the publisher and they emailed me the answer key.

Comprehensive, easy-to-follow tool for increasing your child's reading skills.

Have begun using this in my English classroom. So far so good. Some of the words are very familiar to the students, while others are some they've never heard (licentious, numismatist, opiate, amalgamate, caricature). The exercises can be somewhat difficult for them, but good practice. Some of the exercises are a bit vague to be practical, but overall it's been quite useful. Biggest benefit: the vocabulary in context that is similar to the format of the new SAT test. The biggest down side: the teacher's edition is sold separately for nearly $40.

I started using this workbook, and I was actually really enjoying it, but when I went to check my answers to see if they were correct, there was no answer sheet in the book. I later called up the company, and found out this was because I had the student edition and the teacher book, which is sold separately had all the answers. If I knew there were two books I had to purchase, making it double the price, I would not have purchased the workbook in the first place. This was not clearly stated on the front page when I went to purchase the item on Amazon, and actually from what I saw, not stated at all. I wish that in the description of the product, there is sentence clearly stating that there is a teachers edition that goes along with the book, so one will have to purchase that too. I hope further customers are not tricked like I was, and that the company changes their description.

Younger sister needed it for school. It improves her vocabulary a lot

My son said none of the words were on the test. I told him he learned a skill of looking at words and figuring out the roots. There seemed to be busy work, so we did not assign all activities every week.

Just started writing and this book is what I have been looking for through every other book. It has every basic skill needed for improving in basic writing or even more advanced...
