Picture These Sat Words - Tapa blanda

"Although the use of cartoons to teach vocabulary is not an original concept, this workbook is set apart by its addition of the sound link and its use of cartoons that are sophisticated and entertaining, often featuring puns to reinforce a word's meaning. The sentence completion exercises in the unit reviews make it a valuable tool for preparing the reader for the SAT. This workbook would be a good choice especially for students who are visual learners and for high school libraries. --Christine Sanderson, VOYA, April 2005

Expanding students' word power for higher SAT scores has just become more fun--and more effective! This brand new book uses cartoon-style illustrations that present visual puns, augmented with verbal mnemonics and sample sentences. All examples are designed to help students learn words and meanings, then retain them in their memories when the time comes to take that important college entrance exam. A total of 300 words frequently encountered on the SAT I are presented, each with its own illustration, definition, and set of memory aids. A review is presented at the end of every 12-word group with an amusing written passage to reinforce the words and meanings within a narrative context.
