Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Are you preparing for the SAT test? Are your eyes glazing over at long lists of vocabulary words and endless definitions? This title uses rhyme and music to help students learn and remember vocabulary. Using 500 words that have appeared on the SAT in recent years, Blake Harrison and Alexander Rappaport draw high school students in with the appeal of rap music. In this ingenious book, the writers use rap music as a starting point toward teaching vocabulary; students will literally sing their way through definitions of words and eventually end up with a higher verbal score. Each section features a catchy rap song, complete with definitions of illustrated vocabulary words. The end of the section includes traditional exercises that students will find on today's SAT, such as synonym matching, sentence completion, and reading comprehension. This book brilliantly targets high school students preparing for the SAT by coming to the test from their perspective. This is an invaluable resource with both entertainment and instructional value for high school students.
