I have have condensed the first eight of the famous 10 lists from 60  words each down to 20. A guy that works with the guy originated these lists of the most commonly used words in academic writing also has exercises. He does his cloze stylie, like mine, and they’re pretty cool, web-based style, but mine are printer friendly and aimed at seventh graders. If you want versions that are even more printer-friendly (with the answers), head on over to clickers.mrcoward.com.

I’ll update the list to include two more lists and corresponding exercises soon.
