Some kids collect baseball cards. I collect words.
Hi! I'm the Word Whiz. I'm in middle school, just like you,
and I'm going to turn you into a Word Whiz -- just like me!
I'm going to introduce you to more than 600 words middle school
students need to know for New York State tests, in class,
and when doing homework. Important words for important subjects,
such as:
English Language Arts: paraphrase, alliteration, genre, metaphor,
symbolism Math: convert, probability, hypotenuse, median,
variable Social Studies: partisan, inalienable, imperialism,
ratify, consequences Science: buoyant, neutron, friction,
oxidation, synthesis
I've also included words commonly used in questions on New
York State tests, including approximate, equivalent, and opinion.
My WhizWord lists have kid-friendly definitions and sample
sentences, plus synonyms, antonyms, related words and meanings,
and examples of how the words are used on the New York State
tests.
I've also included all this extra cool stuff:
WhizTips: helpful hints on how to learn words and ace
tests.
WhizQuizzes: mini-quizzes to help cement the words in
your brain.
WhizFacts: general good stuff to know about these words.
And that's not all! I also made up some really fun practice
exercises. They will help you nail down these vocabulary words
by relating them to things we're interested in, like TV, movies,
sports, and music.
The words in this book will come in handy for the rest of
your life. So let's get started!
