Vocabulary Workshop and eDictionary containing the 780 top SAT words with memory movies.
This unique tool is designed to help you build your vocabulary by studying vocabulary through word "cells". Most words in the English language can be broken down into parts, and those various parts have their own meanings. You probably learned these in elementary school as prefixes, roots and suffixes, but we are going to refer to all of them here as simply word "cells." You will discover not only the meaning of these individual cells, but also how knowing just one part of a word can help you come understand its general meaning.
Having a strong grasp of vocabulary is an essential factor in performing well in any written or verbal task you may have. Whether it's a test you must take, a speech you must give, an assignment you wish to perform well on, or to improve your reading, understanding words and increasing your vocabulary will help you feel more confident and help you to be more successful.
First, you must realize that you already know more than you may think you do, and that you can learn what you need! This workshop has nine lessons designed to help you do just that by studying vocabulary through word "cells". Most words in the English language can be broken down into parts, and those various parts have their own meanings. You probably learned these in elementary school as prefixes, roots and suffixes, but we are going to refer to all of them here as simply word "cells." You will discover not only the meaning of these individual cells, but also how knowing just one part of a word can help you come to understand its general meaning.
Nine word cell lessons teach you to "figure" out meanings of words. This gives you a huge advantage on the test. Even if you don't know the word, you can make very strong educated guesses because of the word "cell" approach.
Also included is an amazing 780 word eDictionary. Just tell the program how many words per day you want delivered and it will automatically bring up a list of words each day for you.
