Each of the lessons teaches PSAT and\/or SAT vocabulary words, which are made up of dynamic, real-life words students may encounter while reading or use in their writing.\n\nEach lesson contains definitions, pronunciation keys, parts of speech, and alternate choices for each word made up of synonyms, idioms, and\/or phrases. There are several activities, including a story involving students in a classroom setting.\n\nStudents complete a variety of exercises requiring critical reading and writing skills to contextualize the words. The exercises deliberately use other forms of the words as different parts of speech, so that students learn to recognize these forms as variations of the original words— further expanding their vocabulary and enabling them to use the words in more contexts. The correct spelling of vocabulary words are emphasized with the jumble activity that asks students to unscramble the word before writing the correct spelling.\n\nWhether used in the traditional classroom, as a homeschooling resource, or for independent study, Vocabulary Virtuoso is a highly effective and fun vocabulary resource!\n\nPSAT-SAT Book 1 — 180 Vocabulary Words and These Concepts:\nLiterary - characterization, idioms, euphemisms, puns, aphorisms, jargon, allusions, irony, theme\nRhetorical - The Art of Persuasion in Speech and Writing, Using the Extended Simile to Write a Poem\nHistory - The Renaissance, Renaissance artists\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1601449364\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1601449364.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nancy Forderer\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
