Vocabulary Stretch Long Description:
Vocabulary Stretch is easy-to-use vocabulary-building software that helps students recognize words in different contexts and understand where many English words come from. The software enriches vocabulary by providing challenging activities such as matching words to ideas and completing crossword puzzles. After an assessment, students work on specific words in a variety of activities based on grade appropriate word lists. Students are able to track their progress and print results. Students' scores are kept in a management system that allows teachers to view and print reports. Designed for students in the U.S. grades 4 through 10 (age 9 and up). The program can also be used by ESOL and adult students interested in improving their vocabulary skills.
