Synopsis

The Student Writer's Guide to Avoiding Dead Words is a reference/instructional book to help students from sixth to twelfth grade avoid the most commonly used words in the English language-often referred to as dead words. Where this book differentiates itself from common thesauri is that each dead word is followed by a list of synonyms, as well as places the writer should use them. After all, what good is substituting a word when you do not know the specific contexts of it?
