This review is from: Fiske 250 Words Every High School Freshman Needs to Know (Kindle Edition)
There are 10 Words in every 25 Chapter for a total of 250 words. After every 5 Chapters (50 words), there is a quiz too. Answers are given at the end of the book to quiz questions.

For example, first 5 Chapters are titled like this:
1) Animal Words
2) Words ending in -ate
3) Words for Change
4) Class Words
5) Farrago
Quiz #1

For each word, pronunciation, description and 2 example sentences are given. It is useful to have this book especially when it is free. I recommend it to every student and anyone who wants a review of their vocabulary.

This review is from: Fiske 250 Words Every High School Freshman Needs to Know (Kindle Edition)
I purchased this book when it was free to test my Grandchildren ages 8 & 10. Though they are still in elementary school, they are quite advanced. As expected, many of the words were difficult for them, however, I was pleased to find that the children were familiar with several of the words. We will use this compilation of words as a template for further study and knowledge development.
