Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Increasing word power sounds like one of those dreary chores best palmed off on somebody else. The Yo Momma Vocabulary Builder, the first in Fall Media’s series of irreverent, educational books, makes the activity not only endurable but irresistible. The authors use classic dissing and one-upmanship to slyly introduce young readers to a wide range of words. A typical entry, for “emaciated,” first presents the word as a joke (“Yo momma's so emaciated, she can hula hoop in a fruit loop.”). The pronunciation is then given, along with a detailed, humor-inflected definition (“too skinny . . . skeletal”) that invokes pop culture phenomena like supermodels, the Olson twins, Gollum from Lord of the Rings, and Ally McBeal. The book ties neatly into the “Yo Momma” phenomenon seen in recent MTV shows as well as books and games, and is an ideal gift choice for parents and educators looking to give young people a book they’ll enjoy and share.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very fun!, July 28, 2007
This book is an awesome resource for teachers or for students trying to study for the SAT on their own. The examples might not be usable in five years, but for now this book uses hilarious real-life examples from pop culture to give difficult words context. Students hate doing mind-numbing worksheets, so this book would be excellent for the teacher who wants to go beyond simple fill-in-the blank worksheets.

4.0 out of 5 stars 12 year old loves it!, April 5, 2008
I purchased this book for my 12 year old son, and he loves it. The "yo momma" jokes are very big with him and his friends right now. I was really shocked at how quickly and easily they learned and retained the word definitions. His English teacher has noticed a big difference too. Great book, at a great price!

4.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate for AP ENGLISH or Pre-SAT High Schoolers, December 24, 2007
I purchased this hoping to be able to use it with my at risk hs English students. I would not recommend it for that. I could adapt some of the material to that level, but...

I do highly recommend it for any student planning to take the SAT. It is a great book for any student who likes hip hop or rap that plans to take the SAT or who takes AP level courses.
