Vocabulary Builder # 2: Our Emotions: Special Exercises to Increase Teen Brain Power

The entire world lives on words and as we all know, "knowledge is power." In today's world, many teenagers are having great difficulty with reading comprehension and writing skills and this causes low test grades, low standardized test scores, and results in a weak linguistic foundation. This weak linguistic foundation has rippling effects in the overall educational, psychological and social development of adolescents. "Vocabulary Builder # 2" is a workbook that has been personally created by Dr. Sachin Karnik for teenagers with specifically designed exercises to increase thinking power, increase conceptualization power, and develop a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences among words. By the time teenagers complete this workbook, 125 selected "power words" related to emotions with their proper meanings and usage will be programmed deeply into the long-term memory of teenagers. The exercises are specially designed in a step-by-step progression so that the meaning and usage of each word is cross-connected with other words so that differences between similar & opposite words becomes crystal clear. A self-teaching method is used in these exercises in an attempt to “spark” the joy of learning. Once the “spark” has occurred, teenagers can tap into their own “enjoyment” obtained from learning and this “inner-enjoyment” can be a tremendous foundation for academic greatness.
