Holiday Gift Idea for Teens: Reward SAT Study Prep

Here’s a creative, low cost and effective way to combine SAT/ACT or GRE study prep with your holiday gift-giving. Verbalearn guides your student in studying for the verbal portion of their upcoming college entry exam. This innovative online system is actually FREE, and it offers customized study lists and review and even offers audio so your student can listen and learn on the go. And a sponsorship reward can make a unique gift-giving option for your student’s mastery of the vocabulary.

This program has caught the attention of Boston Public Schools who are, like many other schools, trying to find ways to improve test scores for all students. This free service is particularly attractive because it levels the playing field for all students, making SAT/ACT prep available for everyone.

It works like this:
Students identify the words they don’t know by taking short quizzes online, then each word answered incorrectly will appear on their studylist. This way students can focus just on the words they don’t know and not waste time. The Verbalearn system includes examples and word facts online and personalized studylists that students can view or listen to on their computer or download to an MP3 player. Additionally, they can review all their words from their own homepage when they need a brush-up. Verbalearn’s patent pending system offers user-friendly features not seen in study programs that cost way more than their FREE price!

Give a gift that motivates your student:
Verbalearn2Earn adds a unique twist…and here’s the gift idea: You can provide cash incentives to your student that are tied to his successful mastery of his list of words. You put a desired amount of money into a holding account for your student, and for each word she learns she earns back some of that money. She can access the money in increments of $10 which will come to her in the form of a pre-paid debit card called the Verbalearn Cash Card – it’s just like a pre-paid gift card. And, get this: if you put $40 in your student’s holding account, your student will earn back all of that $40 by successfully learning all of the words in the course. How’s that for incentive?!

Verbalearn just launched their website this month; whether you elect to try it completely free, or reward your student’s efforts with the cash card, this service is unique and valuable. I suggest you check it out.
