vocabulary workbook with a twistVocabulary Virtuoso is a vocabulary workbook with a twist. What makes this vocabulary workbook different from other vocabulary workbooks? The Critical Thinking Co. wants to extend the students learning beyond just learning the meaning of words. Their goal is to empower the mind. For example, the stories used in the lessons teach things such as: how to compose a literary essay, the scientific method, legends and folktales, branches of government, how to form a hypothesis, and various historical facts. The stories go beyond just utilizing academic topics; they also instill values such as honesty, kindness, and community.
My daughter is an avid reader and this workbook is the perfect fit to challenge her beyond the normal vocabulary workbooks on the market. In one of the lessons my daughter came to me and said, “Mom, you know the book, The Island of the Blue Dolphins that I read last year. Well, it is a historical fiction book that is based on actual historical events. Did you know that? And mom, did you know that The Little Mermaid was originally a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale?”
This workbook would be a perfect fit for a classroom setting or homeschool setting. I would highly recommend this workbook to other educators and homeschoolers. Vocabulary Virtuoso requires students to use their critical thinking skills. The definition of virtuoso is a person who is an expert or prodigy. This workbook definitely excels at making your child a budding, academic virtuoso.Posted on

N/AI previously taught in elementary schools and now am enjoying discovering books to use with my grandchildren, ages 9 - 13. The "Vocabulary Virtuoso Elementary Vocabulary" book is creative, interesting, informative, and the examples are easily understood by my grandchildren. They especially enjoy the connected stories in the lessons. This book offers fun, learning and critical thinking, and would be useful in the classroom, or as a home school resource.
