The American Heritage Dictionary Define-a-Thon for the High School Graduate offers students and parents a fun way to get to know a broad range of words that are essential to academic success and bear the stamp of accomplishment.

This book is specially designed to help college-bound students both reinforce new vocabulary and reconstruct what they may have already learned but can't recall. Its two-part structure - a challenge section of questions followed by an answers section - makes for reading that is as entertaining as it is informative.

Each question consists of a definition along with four candidate words, of which only one is correct. The answers section gives the correct answers and lets readers learn in greater depth about these words by demonstrating how they are used in context and showing how they have been used by famous authors who are often assigned in high school English classes. The other candidate words are also defined to help readers improve their vocabulary all around.

So step up and take the Define-a-Thon word challenge. Find out where you stand in today's verbally challenging world.
