"Hi, I'm Etta Molly Gee, Professor of Library Science at Vocabulary University.

We welcome you to our "classic text" site where vocabulary has been pulled from many recommended texts. I have suggestions for your FAQ: How can you, as a teacher, student and/or life-long learner use the V.U. classic texts vocabulary lists?

(Tip 1) Individually or as a group, choose words that are unknown to you from the list. To help memorize, look up and write down the definition, part of speech and use the new word in a sentence of more than 6 words.

(Tip 2) Write a story, postcard, letter or journal entry using 15-25 words in context.

(Tip 3) Working individually or in a group, pair synonyms and/or antonyms. Determine how many words are adjectives, nouns and verbs.

Remember, vocabulary mastery comes from encountering new words in assigned reading, in studying vocabulary word lists and using words in context."

A high school recommended book, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, gives the student the opportunity to learn SAT-College Prep vocabulary in context. We have selected 137 words to encourage study.

(Teachers: If you have a vocabulary list for this book (or for others) that you would share with us, email Jan and Carey Cook. We will post it and give you attribution if you wish! Thanks for helping us!!!)
