NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
A-List Education,experts in standardized test preparation, academic tutoring and
college admissions advising, announced today the launch of Vocab Videos, an
entertaining and effective learning system that brings vocabulary to life.
Leveraging humor, pop culture and engaging characters, Vocab Videos helps
increase student understanding and retention of vocabulary words through verbal,
auditory and visual cues. Vocab Videos teaches students more than 500 of the
most frequently tested vocabulary words found in advanced high school English
classes and on college admissions tests such as the SAT and ACT. 

Recognizing the difficulty many students have learning new words through
conventional means, A-List created Vocab Videos after intense analysis and
research. This unique teaching system employs proven educational methodologies
and helps connect high school students with the content and expand their
vocabulary, while entertaining them along the way. 

Parodies of popular television shows such as Lost, The Office, 24 and Gossip
Girl appeal to students by making the content relevant, memorable and
compelling. Students develop a more sophisticated understanding of vocabulary
words and usage through Vocab Videos as compared to traditional methods, such as
flashcards, that only promote short-term memorization. 

Scott Farber, President of A-List explains, "I`ve worked with thousands of
students and have seen firsthand how beneficial it can be to infuse educational
materials with elements of entertainment and multimedia. Vocab Videos gets
students excited about learning and parents and teachers see the positive
results. We provide the necessary tools for students to excel in the vocabulary
sections of standardized tests, including the SAT, ISEE, ACT and GRE." 

Vocab Videos offers a Web-based service with subscriptions available for $9.99
per month or $49.99 for a six-month subscription. Subscribers have unlimited
access to content on the Vocab Videos website, including quizzes, review
materials and video clips. (DVDs of Vocab Videos will soon be available on
Amazon.com.) 

A-List also offers Web portal customization and licensing agreements for
teachers, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations enabling them
to incorporate Vocab Videos into existing curricula. Vocab Videos can be used to
enhance daily curricula, assist with standardized test preparation and generally
prepare students for college. Schools and non-profit educational organizations
throughout the United States are successfully instituting the Vocab Videos
system.
