could be much better [Posted on 2007-08-02]
The mneumonic and picture don't really tie well to the words definitions. There are much better study helps than this
Great way to visualize the word [Posted on 2007-08-13]
I bought these for my daughter who will be taking her SAT's and really think that these flashcards are very helpful. You are able to visualize how the word is being used in a sentence with the cartoon drawing that is on each card. I wish that there were more words. Though I think this is a great tool for someone who struggles with vocabulary, to pass the SAT's you need more words to work with.

The pictures really helps, esp. if the person is young, I guess. Our daughter started "big" words very early -- she is nine. She loves these cards and remembers the vocabularies very well with their help.
great tool for SAT vocab prep [Posted on 2008-02-23]
I use these with my high school AVID students to help them learn vocabulary for the SAT test. The pictures and examples really help them learn the words.
Disagree with approach [Posted on 2008-03-25]
I disagree with this approach to learning vocabulary. The pictures have absolutely nothing to do with the language roots of each word. Yes, they serve as clever mnemonic crutches, but the end result is that the mind will forever carry around superfluous and inaccurate associations. I mean, really, asking you to think of someone "prodding a gull" to learn the meaning of "prodigal"?
I guess people are more interested in their SAT score than in learning for the long run. For short term gain, if skills with English mean nothing to you for the remainder of your life, these cards are novel.
