About Grade School Excellence:
The Crisis
There is a consensus building among researchers that vocabulary is the missing link in reading education. Many children enter school 3,000–4,000 words behind their peers in oral vocabulary. By the fifth grade this vocabulary gap has turned into a five-year deficit in reading comprehension.
According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), 69% of fourth graders, 67% of eighth graders and 60% of twelfth graders scored below the proficient reading level. The key to meeting the new standards, raising scores on standardized tests, and improving grades in school is having an excellent vocabulary program just like the WordSmart vocabulary building system.
How Does it Work?
WordSmart vocabulary building software incorporates a series of exercises that stress comprehension rather than memorization. Information is absorbed naturally just as when you become immersed in a good book. There are various interactive and fun exercises designed keep your children intrigued while supplying them with the knowledge they need to jump to the head of class.
Based on 70 years of research by the vocabulary gurus at the Johnson O’Connor Foundation who proved, conclusively, that vocabulary is directly linked to academic success.
