Another homeschooler posted this link, and I thought it might be useful for those with older children. The site offers free vocabulary lesson guides for Shakespeare, and 131 novels and short stories that are commonly read in English classes. The guides are in PDF format & can be saved to your computer or printed. They include listings of words/roots that have appeared on SAT and PSAT tests, along with their pronunciation, synonyms/antonyms, definition and derivation, and use in a sentence. Further in the guide are exercises and tests (vocabulary matching, fill in the blanks.)

Files are made available free of charge to schools and school districts, provided no commercial use is made of them.
