When Students lack strong verbal skills, the odds are 8-1 that they won't graduate from college. It's not secret that students with better vocabularies get better grades in school, have an easier time taking tests, read faster, and score higher on the SAT and ACT exams.
The Verbal Advantage Student Edition was specifically developed to help junior high and high school students and is also great for adults who are well on their way to learning English as a second language.
How it works:
Each of the vocabulary words is pronounced, spelled, defined, and used in sentences for easy retention. Short quizzes allow students to check their progress and proceed at their own pace. The accompanying guidebook provides visual support, a complete list of words introduced in the program and their definitions. It couldn't be easier to learn.
