THE WORD IS CEREBRAL

Is this the day you begin to build an extraordinary vocabulary?

That is what I do.

I build a student's vocabulary until they have my FORMULA down to build an extraordinary vocabulary on their own.

And what does that do for them?

It gives them a treasury of words at their disposal at any time to use for any occasion.

It reflects and demonstartes their intelligence on any subject.

It helps their spelling.

Their reading.

Their writing.

Their speaking.

Their success.

Here is a peek into my system.

The word is CEREBRAL

The picture comes to mind is ?????????????

I use this teaser several times a day to attact new students worldwide.

Here is how you play the game.

First check the definition.

With my formula, it will be the one and only time you have to do that.

The way I teach how to build an EXTRAORDINARY VOCABULARY and I have taught thousands, a definition check is a one time event.

I teach my students to OWN the word and not RENT.

When you have to rush to the dictionary each time, you are renting.

When you rely on your mind to create pictures, you own the word.

The definition for CEREBRAL is:

cer·e·bral (s r -br l, s -r -). adj. 1. Of or relating to the brain or cerebrum. 2. Appealing to or requiring the use of the intellect; intellectual rather ...


Now make a picture in your mind to match the word.

Here are some sample answers from my students

A big forehead.

A huge brain.

The statue David, AKA The Thinker.

What is your picture?

Imagine the vocabulary you would have if you could create a picture for every word and that one picture inspired you to recall other words.

Come back soon and play some more.

Imagine the possibilities to your vocabulary.

Extraordinary.
