About this book

Word Power Made Easy was first published in 1949 and is Norman Lewis's best-known guide to building an English vocabulary. Lewis was a grammarian and lexicographer who wrote widely on language. The book is organised as a course: each chapter introduces a group of related words, explains their roots and origins, and gives exercises and self-tests so that readers can check what they have learned.

The emphasis is on understanding how words are formed rather than memorising lists.

About the author

Norman Lewis - BDeBooks
Norman Lewis

Word Power Made Easy has been in print since 1949 and teaches vocabulary through etymology rather than through lists, on the reasoning that a Greek or Latin root unlocks twenty words instead of one. Each session groups words by origin, then tests recall, then returns to them later, which is spaced repetition decades before anyone gave it a name.
