Fantastic for high school students getting ready for SAT or ACT!

As a high school English teacher, I am always looking for new ways to get my students to learn vocabulary, not just memorize words to regergitate for a quiz. This book is fantastic! It breaks vocabulary down by roots (Latin, Greek, etc.) and then has four words per root. Every two roots has a quiz and at the end of a unit there is a larger test that incorporates the past six or seven roots. There is an answer key in the back of to book too! Kids that buy into this method of learning are, therefore, learning to recognize meanings without actually knowing what words mean. For example and for SAT and ACT purposes, if they were given analogies or asked for synonyms or antonyms, kids could figure out what the meanings were by knowing roots. I have loved using it in my classroom so far this year!
