Hot Words for the ACT
starts simply enough. A brief selection of words with their definitions, short
exercises to show knowledge of the words. I would’ve liked to have seen more
than two exercises per section. I did like that they went into detail about the
words, different meanings, parts of speech, plus examples.
Memorizing words is the
key in this book, but college-bound students will greatly increase their
vocabulary. Learn different ways of saying things and understanding rarely used
words will teach the value of a good vocabulary and impress peers and others of
your command of the English language. It will also instill self-confidence as
well as children and teach them the history of how our English language grew
and changed. Recommended. Laura V. Hilton
