Synopsis

Here is a highly effective and fun way for students to build their word power, while they study in preparation for the SAT's Critical Reading and Writing Skills sections. This learning tool is a set of flash cards - but flash cards with a difference! The front side of each card presents a humorous cartoon, a visual pun that relates to the headword at the card's top. The pun supplies a clue to the word's meaning, which is presented on the reverse side, with examples of the word used in sentences. For example, the headword hierarchy is printed above a cartoon showing Noah examining his work chart at his ark-building factory. His chart shows diagrams of higher arks at its top, medium-high arks in the center, at lower arks at its bottom. The caption reads: "A higher ark he built in the hierarchy of arks," and the card's reverse side gives students the meaning of hierarchy: "arrangement by rank or standing." The boxed set contains a total of 200 vocabulary cards, each with its new word for test-takers to learn, its cartoon, and its pun.
