Vocabulary with extra exercises is designed to help students in Years 5, 6 and 7, as well as those preparing for selective school and scholarship tests.

In addition to regular vocabulary exercises, this book provides two new types of word practice. These are About You and My Opinion which help the student to grip tightly onto the new vocabulary.

The book contains a wide range of vocabulary and interesting exercises. They empower the student to write a variety of different text types at school. Students are also introduced to diverse vocabulary such as slang, abbreviations and exclamations.
