Review

This book is a must for those wishing to enhance their students vocabulary! As an SAT teacher for over six years, this book has become the cornerstone of my Critical Reading instruction. Any teacher could benefit from its use. --Kobie Lyons, SAT and English teacher, Burbank, CA

The SAT Vocabulary Building and Sentence Completion Workbook is the ideal resource for anyone who is taking the SAT or GRE or who aims to build his or her vocabulary. The vocabulary worksheets and particularly the Latin root exercises are active ways to learn many words in a short amount of time. The sentence completion practice further enhances one's understanding of the words. This is my go-to workbook for both teaching and personal use. --Felicia Kamriani, MA, Education, Stanford University

I just want to take this opportunity to express my most sincere gratitude for all your guidance and assistance in the growth of my educational business. I appreciate all you have done to enhance vocabulary and SAT Critical Reading skills for my students. This book is a truly precious source of vocabulary building and SAT English. --Peter So, math teacher and owner of Peter s Education Center, Northridge, CA
