    From the Back Cover

    Before college students can learn new vocabulary
    words, they must understand how they learn.

    This new basic vocabulary text addresses the need for identifying learning styles by exposing students to the VARK Learning Inventory--encouraging every type of learner to use the skills they already have to learn and use hundreds of new words.

    BASIC COLLEGE VOCABULARY STRATEGIES also approaches vocabulary development with a unique and proven systematic strategy called SSCD: (1) "See and Say" the word; (2) use "Structural" analysis; (3) apply "Context" clues; and (4) incorporate "Dictionary" knowledge.
