This Year: Open a Door Your Students Will Think Is Really Cool!
Oh, no! Can it be? Is it really time for classes to start again? This summer went by much too fast!"
I'm sure that most of you are echoing those thoughts. The end of summer always make us a little apprehensive. So many unknowns: new students, new colleagues and new materials. Will they be positive - or present new problems?
If you are one of the many teachers who will be using Word Web Vocabulary, you do have something to look forward to, something you can count on to make the upcoming school year a success. You know you will be using a program that will appeal to all your students, one that will provide stimulation and excitement while moving vocabulary from the edge of the curriculum to the center.
You and your students will never again have to be dragged down by boring memorization of unrelated words. And that's not only a good feeling; it will also spur your students to real class participation. Furthermore, Word Web's unique root / prefix / suffix structure meets or exceeds most state standards for teaching language arts. Most of all, your students will appreciate how really cool this new approach to vocabulary is.
Have a great school year! Elinor (elinormiller@seepub.com.com)
