Flocabulary: The Hip-Hop Approach to SAT-Level Vocabulary Building (Flocabulary™ Study Guides) Paperback – April 28, 2006

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 34 ratings
See all formats and editions
Hip-hop is hot, but it's rarely been used as an educational tool until now. That's the beauty of this radical new approach to studying vocabulary for standardized tests, which has been embraced by teachers and reviewers everywhere. Instead of dry test guides that turn kids off, this method builds on our natural tendency to recall song lyrics by infusing difficult words, and their definitions, into irresistibly rhythmic music. Now students can sing their way to better SAT and ACT scores!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Educational Book

This is the second copy of Flocabulary I have bought. Students wore out the first CD!If you want to improve your vocabulary, this is the book to buy. Comes with a CD of hip hop songs and includes 500 SAT words, the meanings of these words and examples of the correct usage.

In the 5 years that I have been using Flocabulary,every student has loved this CD and their vocabulary has grown.

Trying to show young adults the joy of reading? Buy this book. You will be buying your second copy very soon.

I teach a college skills class. Obviously, vocabulary development is an important part of the course. I have tried several methods to introduce vocabulary for student mastery. All before Flocabulary were "tired." My classes have embraced this method and appear to have actually incorporated words into their speaking, reading and writing word banks. The only downside -- you can't get some of the rhymes/rhythms out of your head!

A fun way to introduce new words in the classroom! Students learn the new vocabulary by hearing the words in the context of current music trends.

Easy memory technique for learning the SAT words. Great tunes anyone would love. So loved it, that I subscribed to their website. I would recommend using it with other SAT vocabulary material for consolidation.

If your kid is an auditory learner this book/cd should help a lot. The songs sound pretty good and are varied. Repeated listening should lock most of the vocabulary in.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too dry
Reviewed in Canada on August 22, 2015

I really like the idea of this, which is why it gets the 3 stars, but the songs are not really "flowy" or musical. It's like they were in a hurry to cram as many words into each track as possible, so much so that they forgot it was supposed to be musical. I didn't know rap could be boring until I played the CD. Kind of defeats the purpose of learning via songs if you ask me. You are better off getting some SAT game kit, if there is such a thing or just use your flashcards and call it a day.
