About CryptoMania!
I find students highly motivated to learn more about decoding big words, following word trails, and digging into dictionaries. This book is not just for the students who are already avid learners. I have worked with students at all levels. If you start at the right place and present the material with verve, they'll be very open to the challenge . . . they want and deserve to have their learning skills used and stretched.
-Edith Hope Fine, author
Long words, difficult words, new words—they don’t rattle the CryptoKids. And after reading this book they won’t rattle you, either, because you’ll have the key to understanding more of what you read and hear.
Whether you are a student or a professional, an understanding of word meanings is paramount to comprehension. From the tests of our youth to the SATs that determine college entrance, vocabulary plays a role in our success. Understanding the Greek and Latin roots of our language is imperative to professional proficiency.
