Summary
The first (and lowest level) book in Olsen's vocabulary series, Interactive Vocabulary makes vocabulary enjoyable with innovative and interactive exercises, an engaging four-color design, high-interest readings, and an optional CD-ROM with word pronunciations and additional exercises.
Engaging readings on high-interest topics like movies, time management, art, and health and fitness keep students interested while showing them how vocabulary is used in the context of a reading passage. The text encourages students to look for context clues to help them figure out the meaning of a word. This text is intended for students reading at the 6th-9th grade reading level.
