About the Vocabulary
The 600 words in each book of this series along with the additional target words
presented in the appendices included in the first three books of the series are the most
useful words in English. They were found by analysis of a collection of English course
books from various levels in the primary, secondary and tertiary school systems. The
words included in this series were chosen because they occurred many times in different
levels of these materials. Because of the way
that they were chosen, these words have the following characteristics:
1 They are useful in both spoken and written English. No matter what English course
you are studying, the words in these books will be of value to you.
2 Each word in these books is a high-frequency word. This means that the effort in
learning the words is well repaid by the number of times learners have a chance to
encounter or use them.
3 These books as a whole cover a large proportion of the words in any spoken or written
text. They cover at least 80% of the words in newspapers and academic texts, and
at least 90% of the words in novels. They also cover at least 90% of the words in
conversation.
About the Books
The activities in these books are specially designed to make use of important learning
conditions. Firstly, the words are introduced using sentence definitions and an example
sentence. The activities that follow in the units encourage learners to recall the meanings
and forms of the words. Some activities also make the learners think about the meaning
of the words in the context of a sentence— a sentence different from the sentences that
occurred in the introduction of the words. Moreover, each unit ends with a story containing
the target words. While reading the story, the learners have to recall the meanings of the
words and suit them to the context of the story. Such activities help learners develop a
better understanding of a common meaning for a given word which fits the different uses.
Illustrations for each target word are provided to help learners visualize the word as it
is being used in the example sentence. These word/image associations aim to help
students grasp the meaning of the word as well as recall the word later.
It should be noted that words have more than one grammatical category. However, this
series focuses on the word’s most common form. This is mentioned to remind learners
that just because a word is labeled and utilized as a noun in this series does not mean
that it can never be used in another form such as an adjective. This series has simply
focused on the word in the form that it is most likely to be expressed.
Supporting Learning with Outside Activities
A well-balanced language course provides four major opportunities for learning: learning
through input, learning through output, deliberate learning, and fluency development. The
highly structured activities in these books support all four types of learning opportunities.
In addition, learning can further be supported through the following activities:
1 Have students create vocabulary cards with one word from the unit on one side of the
card and the translation of the word in the student’s first language on the other side.
Students should use the cards for study in free moments during the day. Over several
weeks, students will find that quick repeated studying for brief periods of time is more
effective than studying for hours at one sitting.
2 Assign graded readers at students’ appropriate levels. Reading such books provides
both enjoyment as well as meaning-focused input which will help the words stick in
students’ memory.
3 Practice reading fluency to promote faster recall of word meaning for both sight
recognition and usage. Compass Publishing’s Reading for Speed and Fluency is a
good resource for reading fluency material.
4 Include listening, speaking, and writing activities in classes. Reinforcement of the
high-frequency vocabulary presented in this series is important across all the four
language skills.

The Little Mice
Beth was a very resourceful and conservative mouse. She knew that winter was coming
and that there would soon be a dearth of food. So she decided to make gathering food for
winter her primary job. Gathering food was a grueling and mundane activity, but Beth made
a deliberate effort because she knew that it was important. She allotted herself a few hours
every day to collect beans. By winter, she had collected a massive pile and hid them in a
cache.
Beth had a sister named Mary. Mary lacked ambition. She had fanciful ideas about how
she would survive winter. She thought that food would just come to her and that she could
work at her own convenience. She opted to spend the days playing and dancing, instead of
gathering beans. When the final hours of autumn elapsed, Mary had only a paltry amount
of food stored away.
Mary realized that her food supply was too small to last through winter. She visited her
sister. Mary said, “Beth, l a mi na dire situation. I didn’t gather enough food for winter. Will
you let me share your beans? Please have some empathy for your sister!”
Beth thought for a moment. Then she replied, “Mary, I am truly sorry for you. But I will
not give you any of my beans. Instead, I will let you have my empty bag. You can still work
hard and gather enough food for the winter. It will be tedious, but you will learn the value of
hard work.”
Beth’s words appalled Mary. Mary cried with outrage, “There is too much work! I won’t
have any time to dance or play!”
Beth said, “It is crucial that you gather enough food. You must have sustenance before
you have fun. Go now, and rectify your situation.”
Mary griped some more, but she knew that her sister was right. She took the bag and went
to work gathering her own beans for the winter.
