What are teachers saying about this vocabulary practice program?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“This is a really easy program that will get students learning new words, but also using new words they usually don't. We made a small vocabulary book with notecards, decorating the cover. Each day we would write the word, the definition, a sentence, an antonym, and a synonym. Then we'd share sentences. My students loved getting a skittle when they used the word throughout the day after our quick 5 minute morning lesson. My students would continue to recognize, and call attention to, words weeks and months after they had been introduced”. - Jeanelle 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“Love that these are challenging words for my kiddos and that the test is already done for me. Really helped when needing some extra practice for my ELL students.  Noticed improvements very quickly!” - Amber 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“A simple, clear, and effective vocabulary program. Great for differentiating as well. Thank you for taking the time to pick words that can easily be put to use in conversation!. I can tell a lot of hard work went into creating this!” - Sarah
