Book Description

Publication Date: March 26, 2006 | ISBN-10: 0768923050 | ISBN-13: 978-0768923056 | Edition: 1

Don't judge this book by its cover alone, listen to the CD! From Defined Mind, Vocab Rock brings real music, from hip-hop to alternative, to SAT and ACT test prep. Students can groove to tunes from independent recording artists and then use the lyrics, definitions, and exercises included in the book to really learn, and remember the new vocabulary found in the songs. Who says you have to turn down the music to study for the SAT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vocab Rock is Excellent!, June 5, 2006

Kev B (Red Bank, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vocab Rock! Musical Preparation for the SAT and ACT, w/CD (Paperback)

I gave this book to my 14 year old and she loves it! After listening to the cd for 3 days I couldn't believe how much she learned from it. She brought it to school to share with her friends and they are wondering where to buy the CD....Great Product!!

This review is from: Vocab Rock! Musical Preparation for the SAT and ACT, w/CD (Paperback)

Kids thought the music was unpalatable, but enjoyed the worksheets (ultimately opted for Flocabulary).

4.0 out of 5 stars A song in your studies, September 9, 2007

JOHN P. MCGREGOR - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vocab Rock! Musical Preparation for the SAT and ACT, w/CD (Paperback)

Music as always is a very personal experience. Some songs in Vocab Rock! were better than others. The song "Already Taken" could stand alone as a hit. If you like Hip-Hop, you may like the songs in Flocabulary better. But the real point of these works is repetition of advance vocabulary in context. Both works have a plethora of words. Get them both and get a break from flash cards.

The songs contain a lot of great vocabulary, but the words are not used in context in the songs. This makes just learning from listening more challenging. Read more
