Yes, I remember you are a teacher. In fact, I compiled this Vocab-ability material when I was an ESL teacher in Japan.
It not only helped my advanced-level students greatly, it also taught ME much about English vocabulary. Even if I "knew" many of the words, I came to understand them better by compiling this info.
Glad it helps!
