It Is A System Which Heavily Uses Etymology Not Memorization. Words Are Presented As A System Of Thinking, A Way Of Building, Analyzing, Spelling, Pronouncing, Using And Choosing Words. The Beauty Of This Approach Is That The Student Fully Knows Far More Than The List Of Words Encountered In This Course; He Or She Knows The Tens Of Thousands Of Words Which Are Not Listed, But Which Are Expressions Of The System. This Vocabulary Study Is Intended As A Weekly Effort, Built On A Cumulative Basis. Every Test Reinforces Every List. Through Constant Review, Ever Increasing Familiarity Is Built. This Is A Tremendously Wonderful Undertaking That Combines Learning And Fun For The Students. There Are 30 Lessons In Each Book.

Schools And Districts Which Have Tried It Are Expanding Their Use Of It And Looking For Ways To Expand Its Use Into Lower Grades. South Carolina Had The Lowest Sat Scores In The Country, And That State Has Embraced The Word Within The Word At The High School Level And Then Pushed It Into The Junior Highs. Now, Many Are Attempting To Bring The Curriculum Into Fifth And Sixth Grades. There Is Widespread Pleasure In The Way The Curriculum Imposes A Discipline In The Classroom Because Of Its Structure And Its Intellectual Demands. While The Curriculum Allows For Humor In Its Content, It Makes Students Work To Keep Us With The Weekly Demands. Word Within The Word Makes The Costly, Time Consuming, Quickfix/Quickforget Tutorials Of Junior And Senior High School Years Things Of The Past. Word Within The Word Provides Internalized, Maximum, Meaningful, Impact At The Time The Students Take Psat'S And Sat'S.
