Visualizer Vocabulary

I believe that an enriched vocabulary can change lives!

So why is it that so few individuals possess extraordinary word inventories?

The most obvious reason is that they have to overcome the way they were taught.

I have a decade of classroom teaching from the slums of Brooklyn and the Bronx to the the wealthy suburbs of Miami.

Most teahers have no idea how to introduce students to words.

Go into most classrooms today and you will witness teachers assigning new words to students with the same instructions students have received for the past century.

Learn these words by Friday.

Memorize their definitions.

Write a sentence with each new word.

Test on Friday.

The good students will learn the words anyway, even though they will temporarily forget them over the weekend.

The challenged student, with no word building formula being taught, has no clue and will soon lose interest in building their personal vocabualary.

And yet, there has always been a formula available to learn new words.

It doesn't include memorization.

It has nothing to do with writing gratuitous sentences.

It has everything to do with owning the word forever and not renting it until test day.

And you will still ace that test on Friday.

Some people call my vocabulary teaching Visualizer Vocabulary.

Whatever you call it, it is the only vocabulary building tool you will ever need in life.
