Or force myself to do that.<br /> So the best thing I can do is read and then I seem to grab hold of a word if it is in a passage that captures me.Terri Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771622379178654235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986101129340244815.post-50118959900400373652009-07-08T13:00:36.794-05:002009-07-08T13:00:36.794-05:00I agree with Janna.

It's too hard for most of us to remember words from a vocab list. I think it helps to ingrain them in our minds when we can use them in context.Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986101129340244815.post-2772514704175682672009-07-08T11:56:43.353-05:002009-07-08T11:56:43.353-05:00I used to do vocabulary Friday on my blog and intr...I used to do vocabulary Friday on my blog and introduce a new word I had recently become acquainted with. I should restart that. Thanks for the reminder.<br /><br />BTW: My vocabulary is too limited.
