<p>Can someone suggest a resource for learning the words needed to understand critical reading passages? Currently we have Barrons flashcards , but my daughter is not too motivated to learn out of them. Are there some books that are more effective? (for a reluctant reader)</p>

<p>Thanks

<p>"Tooth & Nail" & "Test of Time" are novels with SAT words & a glossary in the back. There are others, but those books are fairly interesting to read (I read it too). They may be available at your public library or most bookstores in the test prep sections.</p>

<p>make sure to do the barrons cards! it took me like half a year, but it raised my critical reading from 540 to around 640. Retaking in october after learning some more, in hopes of getting 700</p>
