The Emma BBC mini-series is another movie that we watched for improving SAT vocabulary and reading skills.
Watching Emma BBC to improve your SAT reading score
The Emma BBC television mini-series doesn’t seem to stick as closely to the original as the Pride and Prejudice BBC series. The vocabulary isn’t is advanced. So while this television miniseries is a good to the plot of the novel, it’s a drawback of you’re trying to improve your vocabulary from movies without reading the books. In either case, my girls were greatly amused by watching Dumbledore (from the Harry Potter movies, Michael Gambon) play the part of Emma’s father, Mr. Woodhouse.
