 * SAT Word Slamm**

The SAT Word Slam app uses rhyming poems, humor, and simple mnemonic memory clues to teach you HUNDREDS of critical SAT words. And voice actors read the poems for you, so the power of audio makes the definitions stick even faster!Most SAT vocabulary apps and books are just a bunch of flash cards and test questions. But FLASH CARDS are outdated (and they�re boring). That�s just not teaching. And studying hundreds of vocabulary words by rote won�t help you remember the definitions for long.But your memory will LOVE the rhyme, audio, and �Remember This� clues in the SAT Word Slam app. You�ll be amazed by how quickly you�ll learn the meanings of vocabulary words and how well you�ll remember them months and years from now. As a School Counselor and Mother of 3 (two are in high school), finding something that might be a little more fun than reading/memorizing/studying flash cards when studying for college entrance exams is always a good idea and somethign worth trying. Cost = free [] Start with the bookshelf. With a tap, it flips around to reveal the iBookstore, where you�ll find over 700,000 books and counting � many of them free.

With iCloud, you can have the new books you buy on your iPad automatically download to your iPhone and iPod touch, too.* So they appear on your bookshelf, everywhere you want them. You can also get textbooks from this site ~ how awesome not to have to carry a 15 pound Chemistry book!! I can show this app to Youth Options students who are looking for new ways to obtain their textbooks.
