Introduction
More than a half-million readers have already been exposed to the controlled vocabulary in 1100 Words You Need to Know and
the techniques that we devised to help them learn how to use those important words. We have received grateful letters from
across the country and abroad, praising us for the timeliness of our selectionwords appearing in newspapers and books, on
standardized exams, and in business correspondence.
That response is very gratifying. We realize that possessing a rich treasury of words brings material gains as well as confidence
in one's ability to communicate and to be accepted as a mature person. As you spend the time to master the 1100 words and
idiomseven 15 to 20 minutes dailyyou will discover the pleasure of recognition and understanding when you come across these
challenging words in your listening, reading, and conversing.
For the Second Edition, published in 1987, we added word games that enhanced the learning process and analogies that were
useful for those who were preparing for college entrance tests. In the Third Edition, we took into account the newly revised
SAT format by creating words-in-context segments called WORDSEARCHES, one for each of the 46 weeks. Now, in this
Fourth Edition, we have updated all of the material and added a major component, "The Panorama of Words," where you will
find a valuable sentence reference for each of the words you have learned. The material presented is consistent with our
successful blueprint of interest, variety, relevance, and repetition. Regard it as a dividend on your investment.
