How to Use This Site

Learn vocabulary from a book you are reading in two easy steps:

Step 1: Pre-reading Quiz
Before reading the book, browse the quiz words with typical sentences. Click on any you don't know to familiarize yourself with them. Then take the pre-reading quiz. This increases word awareness and improves comprehension. The quizzes are like the vocabulary questions in the SAT^® and ACT^® tests.

Get started by picking a book.

Step 2: Post-reading Quiz
After reading the book, browse the quiz words with book sentences. Click on any you don't remember to familiarize yourself with them. Then take the post-reading quiz based on example sentences from the book. The sentences are in story order, so this reinforces both the story and the words you've already learned.
