Laurel-in-CA Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Next year I am teaching a co-op class that covers test prep, study skills, and vocabulary. I am looking for a book that lists vocabulary NOT alphabetically but by discipline, so it would have geography words to know, science words, social studies words, etc. for high school or college level. I got what I thought would work (Words You Should Know in High School) and found it to be alphabetical. Doesn't help me. I wouldn't mind if it was lists only (w/o definitions) as I can do that bit myself. I'm looking for helping students find the roots/figure out/be prepared for terminology specific to different fields. All possibilities welcome!

Arcadia Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 These two vocabulary lists sorted by subject and put up by schools might be useful to start of https://www.springfield.k12.or.us/cms/lib03/OR01000651/Centricity/Domain/23/Staff Resources/Curriculum/Subject Area Curr/Language Arts/Vocabulary/Academic_Vocab_Tota_7_14_09.pdf http://www.sealyisd.com/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=2339209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintinative Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Another homeschooler gave me a free copy of a book called Programmed College Vocabulary. This is the TOC http://catalogue.pearsoned.co.uk/preface/0131928716.pdf "includes the basic terminology of fiction, poetry, psychology, social science, and computer words" I have the 6th edition which is about $5.64 used on Amazon.

HollyDay Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Not quite what you are asking....but have you looked at English from The Roots Up? It breaks down words by latin and greek roots. For example: Photo (greek for light) and various other word roots that are mixed with that such as tele(distant) = telephoto; syn(together) +thesis (to putor putting) = photosynthesis. This program really helped dds with biology and also with vocabulary for SAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel-in-CA Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks! The vocabulary book is similar to what I'm looking for. I already have something similar to EFTRU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ofus Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I have this book : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0137933819/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It's quite cool. Just lists, not definitions & not a vocabulary book. But full of vocabulary!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
