The Century Vocabulary Builder

"The Century Vocabulary Builder" by Garland Greever is a manual from the early 1900s created to help people build their vocabulary. The book concentrates on how to use words well, not on tough grammar, so readers can better share ideas. The first part of the book shares the goals and ways it will teach; instead of grammar rules. The book teaches how to grow word knowledge through fun practice and knowing how groups of words fit together. Readers are told to look closely at language, try things out, and understand words deeply. This is intended to make learning new words easy and helpful right away.
