Author Biography

Shayne Gardner's lifelong love of learning new words has now manifested as the first in a five-volume series of Visualize Your Vocabulary. While in college, he discovered the memory technique of turning words into pictures to lock the meaning into permanent memory. With the help of his zany artist, Kris Hagen, he brings his funny and offbeat word pictures to life. This approach obviates the need for boring flashcards and tedious rote memorization. Instead, he makes it fun, easy, and painless to learn new SAT and ACT words. Shayne is a former history teacher who constantly encouraged his students to develop a strong vocabulary. He put a new word on the whiteboard every day and quizzed the students every Friday. The students who turned the words into pictures, as instructed, aced the quizzes every week. Shayne lives with his wife and daughter in Chandler, Arizona. He would prefer to reside in Hawaii, so please purchase several copies of this book and gift them to family and friends.
