| PROGRAM DETAILS |
|
| Vocabulary acquisition is fun! This workshop includes hands-on exercises devised by a professional wordsmith to help students acquire new vocabulary in a much more memorable way than the list/define/use-in-a-sentence paradigm. Whether content area- or literature-based, word lists resonate with students long after the vocabulary test. |
