In Each Phase
Learn
For each new word, students are taught the definition, spelling, pronunciation, and parts of speech through comprehensive online instruction.
Review
- We use an advanced memory algorithm software in our classes.
- Students review the words they are struggling with more frequently.
- Students review the words they are not struggling with less frequently.
Reinforce
- Jeopardy: Modeled after the original Jeopardy TV show, students are asked questions on definition, synonym/antonym, pronunciation and context.
- Crossword: Students fill in a crossword puzzle by spelling and defining words.
Test
- At the end of each book, students are required to take a test and score over 90% in order to move onto the next book.
- If students do not score over 90%, we review their areas of weakness before testing them again.
