4.0 out of 5 stars
great book; but beware errors,
By trw41 (st paul, mn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vocabulary Cartoons II: SAT Word Power (Paperback)
Good selection of words and learning aids are very good, but... there are a number of errors. For example "edification" is a noun, but is defined as "enlighten" which is a verb. "Gambit" is defined as a verb; it is a noun. "Malcontent" is defined as a adjective; it is a noun. These examples are from only the first 20% of the book; there are lots more. If you know these words already, you might not notice these things, but if you are trying to learn them... so beware. It is actually a good exercise to try to catch these inconsistencies because SAT/ACT exams also test usage, not just meaning. On another note, it would be nice if the book more consistently listed and explicitly distinguished between primary and secondary meanings, since those tests often try to trick students with secondaries. Again, a good book that just needs a more thorough edit.

My 11-year-old homeschooled daughter loved these books! She learned, and more amazingly, retained so many of these words over the past year and a half since going through the books. This system makes it so fun and easy to increase vocabulary. I highly recommend these books.

The words in this one are a bit more difficult but still a great book. I would recommend starting with book #1 then moving on to this one...
