Old-school cassette tapes and the SAT Vocab Vault!
|
Reader! So, turns out my emails have been going straight to spam. I finally realized this, so, to celebrate the fixing of this glitch and my eventual triumph over technology, I am reverting to a discussion of old-school cassette tapes. Also, I am throwing one doozy of an SAT vocab question at you! Give it a shot: Exploiting: Taking advantage of something (a situation, resource, or person), often in a selfish or unfair way. The toddler kept exploiting her dad’s soft heart by asking for “just one more story”… five times in a row. Monetizing: Turning something (a skill, idea, or activity) into a way to make money. Appraising: Evaluating or judging the value, quality, or significance of something. Engendered: Caused or produced; brought something into existence (like feelings, ideas, or situations). -Kate, your SAT teammate PS - The answer is D. engendering. Tough one, right? |

That said, let's keep trying to use with words with our kids! Just for fun, let's...
Does your teenager know these words? (I came across these answer choices on an SAT question.) Maybe your kid is totally familiar with these four words. In that case, it would be impractical to force your kid to make them into vocabulary flash cards. In fact, that may cause a fight. The only way to find out if your kid knows these words is to try them out in front of your teen. Perhaps an innocuous comment at dinner tonight could turn into a happy vocabulary moment. There is no need to be...
