SAT Psat Word Games Part 6 pdf

63 CHAPTER In this chapter, you will learn to spell PSAT/ SAT words by rearranging the letters to dis- cover vocabulary words. This will also help you to remember the definitions of these words, because they are linked by common subjects. Instructions Unscramble the words in each jumble by placing one letter in each box to spell PSAT/SAT vocabulary words. If you need help, a list containing all the words used in this chap- ter can be found on page 71. Scan the list to see if you can identify the word(s) you’re looking for. If you’re completely stumped, give yourself a break by turning to another game or doing something else for a while. You can always come back and finish another time. Answers to all the puzzles can be found at the end of the chapter— but don’t peek until you’ve given each game your very best shot!
