The Fun Way to Build Vocabulary Skills!

Good for: Phonics--including Dolch words, literature, ESL, vocabulary, spelling, foreign languages (Spanish, French, German, English, Latin)...

The flash animation games help the student make connections between words and ideas, and between words and pictures.

Games are divided into the following groups: Primary (K-2), Intermediate(3-5), Middle School (6-8), High School (9-12).

My daughter used the middle school activities and loved them. Her retention was wonderful. I attribute that to the flash animation and the fact that it was fun.

The site also offers super resources for various topics such as speed reading, SAT, GRE Verbal Tips, GMAT Test Prep, How to Increase Your Vocabulary....

This site is especially great for visual-spatial learners.

We will continue to use the site.
