SAT Time Again!
Here we are at that time of year again when the kids are preparing for SAT’s. They have always been challenged to learn many new vocabulary words and terms to prepare for the test. Would you ever think of buying your teenagers a ‘Twilight’ workbook to study for their SAT’s? Well that is what a great number of parents are doing. Brian Leaf, test prep expert, has come up with a method for easily teaching theses new vocabulary terms by using a popular story series among the teenagers.
He has created two workbooks using ‘Twilight’ and ‘New Moon’, to make it easier for teens to relate and easily grasp the words and their definitions. There is also a Facebook page ‘Defining Twilight’ which has over 60,000 fans which he created!
So before you go out and purchase the 1,000 page SAT study guide, check out Leaf’s new workbooks. Your kids might actually thank you!
