DESCRIPTION:
It uses cartoons to focus on word meanings and their usage. 300 cartoon illustrations familiarize students with words they are almost certain to encounter when they take the SAT. Each cartoon's visual pun serves as a memory aid that relates to the target word's meaning. Every word-related cartoon includes both a definition and three sample sentences to demonstrate how the word is used in standard contexts. The expanded new edition of this SAT test preparation aid employs humor to help students strengthen their vocabulary. To reinforce memory retention, a set of SAT-style sentence completion exercises follows every group of 12 cartoons.

Picture These SAT Words helps visual learners not only understand the definition of hard vocabulary words, but also associate each word with a visual cartoon.

"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
