Book Reviews of WordPlay: 550+ Words You Need to Know
Book Review: Maybe Good for Middle School or High School...
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this to study for the GRE and it was not helpful at all. The stories are nothing like I expected, and hard to pay attention to because they are very cheesy.
I did give it to my middle school level sister so she can start to build her vocabulary and she seems to be using it just fine.
Summary of WordPlay: 550+ Words You Need to Know
This popular vocabulary-building program, previously available in audiocassette tape format, is now being issued on compact discs. Based on Murray Bromberg and Melvin Gordon’s bestselling classroom book, 1100 Words You Need to Know, this program presents seven humorous dramatizations designed to build students’ word power while preparing them for the SAT, ACT, and ESL tests. Dramatized stories include those of a hapless football team, a private eye, a chef with an accident-prone cooking show, and others. All stories keep their listeners amused while they introduce words and word meanings in the context of informal conversations. A 32-page booklet lists the words-to-learn from each dramatization and provides brief definitions for them all.Reference Books
