Vocabulary Stretch
Helps students with word recognition, meanings, and origins.

Students enrich their vocabulary through challenging activities such as matching words to ideas and completing crossword puzzles.

After an assessment, students work on specific words in a variety of activities based on grade-appropriate word lists.

Students are able to track their progress and print results. Students' scores are kept in a record management system that allows teachers to view and print reports.

The questions, answers and explanations of the program can be spoken aloud by using the Merit Text Talker.

Designed for students in grades 4 through 9 (age 9 and up), the software can also be used by ESL and adult students interested in improving their vocabulary skills.
“Wonderful for improving students' vocabulary skills.”
