The verbal SAT and other college or university standard examinations seek
to test English language, mainly the ability to grasp concepts inherent
in words. Our approach is to display key words as word-ideas or word-roots to replace
memorization by understanding.
The best way to improve standardized academic scores is to improve
verbal scores. Our approach is to show word roots that expose meanings.
Learning a vocabulary can be pleasant. Key words contained in the
Pandora's Word Box often come with "plays with words" meant to highlight
nuances otherwise easily missed.
One fun strategy to boost a vocabulary is to grasp "a word a
day" and to look up word meanings every time doubts arise about
a term encountered. Pandora's Box contents and Word Servers were designed
with this purpose in mind.
Vocabulary aquisition is reinforced by Pandora's WordServers search
engine. When you turn your computer on, or whenever you wish, a word
idea, selected at random, is presented on the computer screen.
You can useWordServers to emphasize biology, medicine, history,
or even to pay attention to slavic or other word roots acquired from Greek,
Latin, Spanish, Sanskrit or Slavic (our approach is to display any items
that facilitate understanding).
Pandora's Word Box contents are vast (nearly 3 meg); classic
mythology along with extensive citations from literature, poetry, history,
etc. are included as needed to grasp the gist in words. This makes the
compilation a resource useful for presentations and term papers.
Our compilation (contrary to most anonymous works adopted from the printed
media) was designed for PC computer use and is the work of a single
author (W. Wertelecki M.D.). The contents are original and cohesive.
Some standard students, studying under a gazebo,
reading a gazette and watching for gazelles reported
finding the contents as amusing and amazing as if a bemused
musical muse tried to show how amazons also have a grave
facet not obvious prima facie as found in implications
and complications related to amastia and mastectomies
and is a matterthat also relates to mastodonts, mast cells, mother,
maternity, mate,
mattress and
materialized motherhood (pardon the play on words).
