Vocabutoons
Vocabulary Cartoons
 By Sam, Max and Brian Burchers, New Monic Books

Learn hundreds of new words over a weekend! The "Vocabutoons" in this book provide a revolutionary new approach to acquiring vocabulary skills. Vocabutoons work on the same mnemonic principles as those used by memory experts who appear on TV shows and quickly memorize the names of the entire audience. But unlike memory experts who must create mnemonic devices in their heads, vocabutoons do all the mnemonic work for you in the form of rhymes and humorous cartoons. Tested in many southwest Florida Junior and Senior High schools, Vocabutoon students eared up to three times more "A's" than students with traditional vocabulary study books. Vocabutoon words are those commonly found in SAT tests. Recommended for SAT test prep, Special Education students, English as a Second Language, Adult Education, and Home Study.
