My twin girls will be ninth graders in the fall. What SAT prep programs have you used that were enjoyable/worked?

Thanks!

We've never done Vocabulary as a formal subject ... lots of reading would be my first recommendation. Given that though, a few suggestions.

My teen was introduced to the following website in an SAT Essay writing workshop:

She enjoys it very much.

I also recommend that your child do the free SAT question of the day. Here is the site for that:

The vocabulary cartoon books are also a fun means of learning vocabulary.

Vocabulary for the High School Student and Vocabulary for the College Bound Student cover SAT words very thoroughly. http://www.amscopub.com/price_list_book_information.html?CM=Prod&CID=4&PID=340
