Vocabulary is the quiet half of the ISEE verbal section. Synonyms and sentence-completion questions don't reward clever guessing — either your child knows the word or they don't. And the words that show up on the Lower Level aren't the words fourth and fifth graders meet in everyday reading.
What's inside
Flashcards for all 639 words the ISEE Lower Level actually draws from — the same word lists we use in our small-group prep classes here in Millburn. Flip through a handful whenever there's a spare moment: the car line, the bus, ten minutes before bed.
Quizzes that check whether the words really stuck. Reviewing a card feels easy; retrieving the word under a little pressure is what makes it stay. That's the same reason our classes end each unit with a quiz, not another review.
There's also a full-test mode for a longer, exam-style vocabulary run, and a progress page that tracks which words are mastered and which are still in the "learning" pile — saved on your child's device, no sign-up needed.
How to use it well
Little and often beats cramming — vocabulary is won in ten-minute sessions spread over months, not the weekend before the test. A simple routine that works: one flashcard session and one quiz per day, a few days a week, starting the summer before test season.
