Banish Boring Words!, Grades 4-8: Dozens of Reproducible Word Lists for Helping Students Choose Just-Right Words to Strengthen Their Writing

Very good for 9+ years when they have to describe things

I expected more from this book. As a teacher of english as a foreign language I hoped that this book would be more helpful , but it wasn't. A dictionary of synonyms would do the same thing or even better. I was expecting a list of words a little more interesting, maybe less words with some examples. For example they could have a regular boring essay transformed into an interesting essay. I would not recommend this book.

英会話の練習用に購入しました 子供用ですが、とてもわかりやすく満足しています

I cannot stress enough how helpful this resource has been to my students. I've used it with grades 8 all the way to first year university. It gives student the opportunity to expand their vocabulary very easily! Great Resource everyone should purchase!

Livre utile pour mes classes de 4è et 3è (certainement utile aussi pour le lyçée !). Leur permet d'enrichir leurs expressions écrites.

Il prodotto è arrivato nel giorno stabilito ed in perfette condizioni. Per quanto riguarda il contenuto, nonostante le sue dimensioni ridotte (50 pagine circa), il libro fornisce un buon numero di parole che possiamo sostituire ai soliti, noiosi vocaboli oramai "strautilizzati": bello, buono ... L'ho apprezzato molto perché non si trovano molti libri di questo tipo o che mantengano un rapporto dimensioni/qualità elevato. In sintesi, sebbene rimanga un libricino per bambini, ritengo che "Banish boring words!" rappresenti un valido aiuto ed un prodotto da tenere sempre a portata di mano per dare un tocco in più ( che sia in previsione di una conversazione o per una qualsiasi produzione scritta) al proprio inglese.

I could no longer bear the lack of good vocabulary in my 10 year old son's speech... I am glad I bought this book as it deals with "specific" words according to the situation. The chapters are broken down into words of common usage and develop into each topic as they progress.
