THE BEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD,
NOW EVEN BETTER.
ANNOTATED CLASSICS
Read the classics with clarity and momentum: each Vocabbett Classics edition includes definitions and explanations at the bottom of every page, so readers understand the text as they go.
Instead of pausing to look up unfamiliar words or losing the thread of the story, readers move forward with steady understanding. The original language remains intact, supported by clear, well-placed notes.
Created by a former teacher, these editions reflect how literature is best taught and best read.
The classics, clearly understood.
"Absolutely FANTASTIC! The annotations make understanding the story much easier."
FICTION WITH BENEFITS
VOCABULARY-BOOSTING FICTION
Erica Abbett did not set out to write vocabulary-boosting fiction. She set out to write brilliant novels (who doesn't?), inspired by her travels in Egypt, Israel, and beyond.
But when early feedback warned there were too many “big words” for young adults, she chose not to simplify the language. Instead, she added definitions at the bottom of each page, allowing readers to absorb new words in context without losing the thread of the story.
The result was a series of vocabulary-boosting novels that quickly found their audience. Students loved them as books and parents loved the results, particularly for the SAT. The story came first. The vocabulary followed, often before readers realized it.
"I loved [Ahead of Her Time] so much and it helped my studies immensely!"
A BETTER WAY TO READ
WHAT IS VOCABBETT?
Vocabbett by Erica Abbett creates better books: vocabulary-boosting fiction and annotated classics, each with definitions and explanations at the bottom of the page.
These editions preserve the original language while removing the friction that causes many readers to lose momentum. Instead of simplifying the text or sending readers elsewhere for answers, Vocabbett provides clarity where it is needed most.
Designed by a former teacher, each book offers just enough guidance to keep readers moving forward without interruption. With each story, readers develop a stronger command of difficult words and references, and this knowledge stays with them long after the final page.
Definitions and explanations appear at the bottom of each page, so you understand the text instantly without breaking your focus.
