I think my dd needs to continue her vocab studies.

She did not like Wordly Wise this year (it is a long, sad tale...), so I am looking for recommendations for other vocabulary books.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I have been pleased with these books for my older children in public school, and they would be easily adaptable to homeschooling (in fact, I think I'm going to go order some right now for next year!)

My son has used the Sadlier book, but now we're using Vocabu-Lit. He likes the literary passages.

I do vocabulary with some of my 8th graders and some don't need it. I have used a variety of vocabulary programs. We do really like the Sadlier Oxford (happens to be what Kolbe uses. My edition has a really nice feature - online pronunciation of the words.

I have modified what I require depending on the child. One of my children, we didn't do anything but listen to the words - she knew the meanings and didn't need vocab work, but she sure pronounced some things in odd ways.

Others we did more - some everything in the program and one child we only did 1 year of vocabulary in 7th or 8th. I think we skipped it entirely for our most voracious reader.
