SSAT/ISEE (Lower/Middle) Vocabulary

 SSAT/ISEE (Lower/Middle) Vocabulary: 1500 Words Testing Synonyms/Antonyms/Homophones /Idioms/Blanks, J. Christine, 2019, Independently Published

This book attempts to teach vocabulary to younger students preparing for the SSAT/ISEE test.

It does this in a variety of ways. There are 42 separate tests, with 34 words each. The tests should be done in 10 minutes. Do not try to do the whole book in one day; just do 1 or 2 tests per day.

Each test consists of sections on synonyms, antonyms, fill in the blanks, choose the word that doesn't belong, idioms or missing letters. The sections are short, so there is no chance of the student being overwhelmed by vocabulary.

This book does an excellent job of teaching vocabulary as painlessly as possible. It is recommended, not just for students taking the SSAT/ISEE test, but for any student who needs a vocabulary refresher course.
