What’s It About?

SAT Vocab – MindSnacks begins with a review feature where you can study the definitions, including a picture and audio label. Then kids test their knowledge through nine timed mini-games, ranging from turning blocks on a totem pole, to matching the definition with antonyms and pictures, to a spelling tasks and sentence completion. The app tracks your progress with each word and also tracks your overall progress. Players who purchase the upgrade cover 500 words over 25 levels.

SAT Vocab – MindSnacks takes what could be a mundane task of memorizing definitions and turns it into a fun endeavor. The nine different ways of attacking words and the adaptive nature of the app help ensure that those uncertain words become familiar. With the different mini-games and the adrenalin rush of the fast-paced timer, cramming the same word list over and over doesn't get boring, but it sure reinforces learning the words.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
