Vocabulary Virtuoso Program

Vocabulary Virtuoso increases vocabulary, stimulates imagination, and boosts standards-based language arts skills. Each of the lessons teaches PSAT and/or SAT vocabulary words, which are made up of dynamic, real-life words students may encounter while reading or use in their writing.
Each lesson contains definitions, pronunciation keys, parts of speech, and alternate choices for each word made up of synonyms, idioms, and/or phrases. There are several activities, including a story involving students in a classroom setting.
Students complete a variety of exercises requiring critical reading and writing skills to contextualize the words. The exercises deliberately use other forms of the words as different parts of speech, so that students learn to recognize these forms as variations of the original words— further expanding their vocabulary and enabling them to use the words in more contexts. The correct spelling of vocabulary words are emphasized with the jumble activity that asks students to unscramble the word before writing the correct spelling.

There are 5 levels. Each class would follow one vocabulary list. 

词汇大师增加词汇量，激发想象力，并提高基于标准的语言艺术技能。每节课程都会教授 PSAT 和/或 SAT 词汇，这些词汇由学生在阅读或写作时可能遇到的动态、现实生活词汇组成。每节课都包含定义、发音键、词性以及由同义词、习语和/或短语组成的每个单词的替代选择。有多项活动，包括学生在课堂上参与的故事。学生完成各种需要批判性阅读和写作技能的练习，以将单词置于语境中。练习故意使用单词的其他形式作为不同的词性，以便学生学习将这些形式识别为原始单词的变体，从而进一步扩大他们的词汇量，并使他们能够在更多上下文中使用这些单词。混乱活动强调词汇单词的正确拼写，要求学生在写出正确的拼写之前先解读单词。
