I don't need statistics (although they are impressive) to tell me that the use of rhyme, pictures, and humor help with memory and comprehension. This is something I have discovered simply by having children! Honestly, this is true of myself as well. If we can learn something utilizing these methods (singing them out loud will help cement this even further), we can remember it much more easily.
We do not do a lot of formal vocabulary lessons in our home, preferring a more natural method of learning new words as we read, but this book inspired me to add a little "formal" vocab to our homeschool. It's fun and educational at the same time- always a plus for me!
You've heard the phrase, "A picture is worth a thousand words"? That is certainly true in this case. Rather than try to explain how this book works, I will share an example below (This is from Book 2, as it is the only sample I have been successful at uploading). If you'd like to see more samples, head on over to their website where they have several you can download and view.
Vocabulary Cartoons SAT Word Power Book 1 contains 290 SAT words, complete with quizzes for review, and is available for $12.95. If this sounds great but your kids are still too young for the SAT words, they have an elementary version as well.
