TO BUILD VOCABULARY: Verbal Workout (www.verbalworkout.com) is a tremendous resource, particularly for high school teachers (and parents) who want to help students strengthen their vocabulary. It includes key vocabulary words (esp. SAT words) from many, many commonly-read texts and provides lists (sortable in various ways, such as by chapter or frequency) and quizzes. Moreover, it’s a great source to see lists of commonly-read texts, esp. if you are writing/revising curriculum:
-- Books Most Commonly Assigned in the 2011-12 HS Year According to a Renaissance Learning Survey
-- Books Most Commonly Read by High School Students (via Accelerated Reader)
-- Books Most Cited by AP Literature Open Response Questions Since 2000
-- College Board’s 101 Great Books Recommended for College-Bound Readers
PS--I recommend viewing the two brief (2-4 min.) video tutorials so you can see how to gain maximum benefit from this resource. Then you’ll be on your way! Many thanks to Jamie Sterlacci for this lead!
