    About Rhyminders

    I first started creating vocabulary rhymes as preparation for college entrance exams. This fun mnemonic device allowed me to achieve a perfect score on the reading portion of the ACT. Later I used the same technique to achieve an excellent score on the verbal section of the GRE and attend George Washington University for graduate school.

    I designed Rhyminders to be a fun and innovative learning experience. The book is packed with memorable rhymes to help people of all ages learn and remember difficult words and concepts.

    If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, please feel free to email me or join me on the Rhyminders page on Facebook.

    Have fun rhyming and best of luck!
