Simon's Saga for the SAT
Completely revised to reflect the current SAT test format, Simon's Saga for the SAT literally takes a "novel" approach to building students' verbal skills. Simon, a very cool college dude, shows college-bound kids around campus, introducing them to academic and social life. In the process, he helps them expand their vocabulary and develop overall verbal fluency. Simon emphasizes words and meanings students should know as they prepare to take the SAT.

The boldface words appear with meanings and cross-references in a glossary at the back of the book.
