You know how young children are - always questioning, always ready to learn. Bring back that same eager attitude with Word Web Vocabulary.

You will discover an interest and excitement not often seen in your children. Watch out, though! You may be amazed by their questions as they advance their knowledge!

How does Word Web Vocabulary differ from other vocabulary programs?

  • It does not present vocabulary words in isolation; instead, it presents them in a sequential order
  • It provides many means for continuous review of the year's words, assuring students' retention of them
  • Since it has color-and shape-coded learning levels, students of varying abilities are able to use it in the same classroom at the same time

What can Word Web do for your children?

  • Expand their literacy
  • Quite possibly lose some of their "youth-speak"
  • Grow intellectually
  • Address their world with imagination, creativity and purpose
  • Become active, not passive, learners
  • Be involved in their own learning
  • Connect the classroom to their world

As a family, you will enjoy Word Web's:

  • Cool Connections
  • Awesome Associations
  • Think Links
  • Other proprietary learning aids
  • Valuable link between home and school

When Elinor Miller was designing Word Web, she drew on these truisms:

  • The vocabulary children possess is the key to their communication skills
  • Vocabulary is a part of every subject students are learning
  • Vocabulary development is a kind of empowerment that uses ideas
  • Ownership of words and concepts requires a series of exposures to words
  • Children of any age learn best in whatever they are interested

Word Web Vocabulary helps put words into everyday use:

  • Wicked Word of the Week: One essential to growth in language and literacy and always presented with many examples of use.
  • Real World Words: One of many words that relate to our visual world and, therefore, connect students' classroom learning to their everyday environment. Real World Words - one with each week's lesson and presented in sequences - include frequently-encountered (but often not understood) acronyms; the whys and wherefores of sports team names and those of cars, vans and trucks; foreign words in common English usage; architectural terms; idioms; colors and patterns; cooking and food terms; election-related words. The success that students achieve from acquiring these words often carries over to other learning situations.
