SSAT & ISEE (Upper) Vocabulary II, J Stone, 2025, ISBN 979-8-31411-4520
Last-minute "cramming" for an exam will not make any permanent addition to a person's knowledge. A much better way to learn vocabulary is by associations.
Link the vocabulary word to a rhyming word or phrase. Come up with a sentence linking the words, then add a mental image for the sentence. In the image, it's totally acceptable to substitute an out-of-place item; imagine things much larger, or smaller, than normal; the funnier, or more absurd, the image is, the easier it is to remember. The book also has a pronunciation guide.
Each vocabulary word in this book is followed by its pronunciation, then by the type of word it is (noun, verb, adverb). A short definition of the word comes before a pair of sentences using the word. Then there are several synonyms and antonyms. A humorous image illustrates the sentence with the rhyming word.
Students learn in many different ways. This book looks at several such ways. It is recommended for students of all ages.
