Vocabulary Builder

With two teens and a tween in the house, and college on the horizon for all of them, a little early SAT prep seems like a good idea. This vocabulary builder has some fun stuff you can do right on the site, like vocabulary tests similar to what you'll find on the major college entrance exams. You can choose testing formats, and there are downloadable tests as well as learning tools available to purchase. Since our kids are homeschooled, they haven't had to deal with as many of these standard-format tests as a lot of their public and private-schooled counterparts, so this kind of prep, especially since it's kind of a fun game they can do on the computer, could pay some pretty big dividends later. There's even a "Star War" game, and "Memory" games, both of which will go over big with the younger set.
