THE WIZARD OF OZ VOCABULARY BUILDER
by Mark Phillips
 
Introduction
 
If your vocabulary needs building, you’re probably the type of person who doesn’t like to read. But because people remember the meanings of unfamiliar words only if they learn them in context, the only way to build your vocabulary is—you guessed it—by reading. And the fastest and most painless way of putting that idea into practice is by reading just one short book that happens to include all the vocabulary words you need to know—for standardized tests such as the SAT or GRE, or for everyday intelligent-sounding conversation.
Just as people might use “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” to easily and conveniently test out the keys of a typewriter or computer (because it contains all 26 letters of the alphabet in a single, short sentence), you can use The Wizard of Oz Vocabulary Builder
(a specially rewritten version of L. Frank Baum’s classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
) to easily and conveniently build your vocabulary (because it contains all the words you need to know, 1850 of them, in context, in a single, short book).
Whereas the physical edition of this book includes definitions by the author at the bottom of each page, this Kindle edition instead makes use of Kindle’s built-in dictionary. In the story, each vocabulary word appears in capital letters.

Simply use Kindle’s “Lookup” feature to instantly reveal the definition of the word. (If the built-in dictionary seems not to include the word in question, use Kindle’s “Search” feature to find the word in the built-in dictionary. If the word still does not appear, search for a simpler form of the word; that is, present tense rather than past tense, singular rather than plural, and so on.)
 
Chapter 1 “The Tornado”
 
Once upon a time, a WINSOME young orphan named Dorothy lived with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry on a bleak, HARDSCRABBLE Kansas farm. Located about fifty feet from their SPARTAN little house was a small underground room called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those mighty, house-crushing whirlwinds arose.
Dorothy’s one real joy came from playing with Toto, her little black dog. Toto had long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny little nose. Together they frittered away many an afternoon, frolicking among the haystacks in perpetual delight, far beneath the PELLUCID Kansas skies.
One day, while HUNKERED down to milk a MOTTLED cow, Uncle Henry k ............
