Vocabulary Virtuoso: PSAT-SAT Book 2 - eBook

The Critical Thinking Co. is a great company with many products worth looking at. Each one incorporates critical thinking, so they aren't your run-of-the-mill workbooks. A book like this is much easier for me because my son can work through it on his own without me looking over his shoulder. Each lesson begins with a list of vocabulary words that may be used on the PSAT and/or SAT exams. The list contains the word, pronunciation key, definition and a sample sentence using that word. Following the vocabulary list is six worksheets or exercises that require students to think critically and use words in different ways. For example, they will see synonyms for the word, fill in the blanks with the appropriate word, read a story that uses each word, etc. Another exercise requires them to unscramble the letters in the word, which will help them learn how to spell it correctly. They will also need to complete a sentence that shows they understand the definition of a word. I also like that it teaches students a little about ancient Greek history, ancient Greek drama, Shakespeare's London, Renaissance artists, etc. If you are looking for an easy-to-use workbook to help expand your student's vocabulary, look no further than Vocabulary Virtuoso.
