Why Increase Vocabulary?
More than 70 years of research has
shown that vocabulary is the single biggest indicator or success - be it
financial, professional, or personal. Vocabulary is a primary building block for reading comprehension, speaking, and thinking! Yes, thinking. Not only does improving
your vocabulary improve reading comprehension (if you understand more words,
you understand what you are reading better) but it also increases your IQ. More
details are here, but the basic reason is that we
use words to think about ideas and concepts. A strong vocabulary gives you the
power to expand your thoughts and communicate them better. This leads to a
higher IQ and greater success in school, work, and life.

WordSmart is the multi-sensory approach to learning not only vocabulary but also the word history, etymology, and most common misuses that confuse so many people into using words incorrectly.
Research at the Johnson O'Connor Foundation proved conclusively that a powerful vocabulary is directly linked to success in school; indeed, he found that vocabulary is directly linked to professional and personal success as well.
WordSmart incorporates a series of exercises that stress comprehension rather than memorization. The various exercises explore all words from every possible angle, allowing for total comprehension. The system also raises your awareness of other words and concepts, enabling you to rapidly expand your knowledge of words with which you are only partially familiar.
The vocabulary chosen for the WordSmart system is a set of General English vocabulary words. The words are arranged in order of difficulty so that the user can efficiently learn a significant group of words slightly above their frontier.
