Key Features of the Townsend Vocabulary Series

The Words-in-Context Approach.

Students learn new words by encountering them in meaningful contexts, not through rote memorization. Our books provide at least six different contexts for each vocabulary word.

Abundant Practice.

Each book is packed with activities, exercises, unit reviews, and tests that prompt students to interact closely with each new vocabulary word. The result: students' word banks grow.

Appealing Content.

Dull materials discourage learning. Our books avoid that. Each features high-interest passages students will want to read.

Relevant Words.

Advancing Vocabulary Skills teaches 300 key words/word parts. Words from the series were drawn from word frequency lists with alignment to state standards and standardized tests. The aim: to equip students with the words they need to know.
