Is there not a vocabulary section in CTC?

I gave it a quick glance earlier today when my daughter asked. She is so hopeful that she'll be DONE with it after Preparing... :roll:

LOL. There is vocabulary but it is integrated into the subjects. For example, in science they usually have to define a couple of vocab words in their once-a-week question/answer section. For history, I'm finding there are plenty of opportunities to build vocab. My daughter reads to herself but sitting next to me so she can ask me, when she needs to, what a word means. There are word studies in the Bible study and the geography also introduces common geographical & cultural vocabulary. If you use DITHOR, she'll also get it a bit in that. I like that it is spread out and "natural".

Alright. Sounds good. I was sure it had to be in there somewhere, but she was so excited to not see it as a box title.
