Examples:

- Where would a BROOCH be worn?

-Which is a kind of tree FUR or FIR?

The activities in this 28-lesson book give students practice in finding new word meanings and alternate words to use in place of tired, repetitive ones. Each exercise requires the use of a dictionary.

When completed, students should be able to replace worn-out words with more precise synonyms. They will know how to find alternate words in a dictionary, better understand multiple meanings, and maybe even discover a fascination for unusual words, their origins, and meanings.
