Wouldn't you like to see your students develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about the English language? The Building Language Power books contain high-interest lessons designed to strengthen students' oral and written skills. The lessons encourage teachers and students to join in experimenting with the nuances and delights of the English language through open-ended oral discussion.

Special Features: Each book includes lessons on idioms, descriptive and figurative language, vocabulary, etymology, root words, simile/metaphor, and more. For easy reference, a Teacher Notes page accompanies each Student Lesson. Teacher Notes include the lesson objective(s), an easy-to-follow lesson strategy, and suggested answers. Many lessons include enrichment activities.

Lessons can be used with small groups or the whole class. Many of these lessons can be used on a daily basis for oral language development. Lessons on any one topic are spread throughout the book so students have time to think about the information, listen for it in their daily experiences, and use it on their own. Written exercises give students experience in becoming effective writers.
