Holiday Gift Idea for Teens – Vocabulary Learning System
December 4th, 2009 by Sue Blaney
Here’s an idea that stood out again this year as a great way to incorporate test prep into your holiday gift-giving. VerbaLearn is a unique online service that focuses on vocabulary building for grades 7 – 12 (and higher). The service successfully bridges the gap between traditional flashcards and Web 2.0 technologies by offering audio, video, games, and more! The creators of this unique service have done a creative job of making this process contemporary – it uses all the tools kids are comfortable using these days – and fun.
VerbaLearn’s basic service is free for anyone to sign up, but here’s the gift idea: you can actually sponsor a student for $40 to learn the words, much like you would sponsor someone to complete a charity walk. The sponsorship helps provide motivation for the student to learn the words and the cash is awarded to the student as he or she progresses through the course – there are no strings attached! Students can choose from 12 specifically designed courses (e.g. SAT, ACT, GRE) to help them prepare for entrance exams, do better in school, or advance their career. Check out the VerbaLearn demo video below to learn more about this cool vocabulary building service and visit VerbaLearn.com for more information on their unique sponsorship option.
