How does it work?
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.
WordSmart users learn the meaning of words quickly and easily with the help of the accompanying audio discussion. The system works fast. Just how fast does it work? It works 10 to 100 times faster than any other vocabulary building system!
You will have fun while you blast your way to a better vocabulary with the arcade-style Laser Review.

Research Driven
The Johnson O'Connor Foundation was founded in the early 1920's as an institute that tested people's innate abilities and aptitudes. The President of the foundation, Johnson O'Connor soon found that an acquired trait seemed to be more important than any innate aptitude. He 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.
Johnson O'Connor became well known to the public as the father of aptitude testing. Nonetheless, his findings on vocabulary, backed by a huge body of research, are what have led to the most effective method ever of improving vocabulary, and by extension promoting academic and professional success.
O'Connor collected empirical data about knowledge patterns from hundreds of thousands of people throughout the United States. His hypothesis evolved based on this massive database. Decades of data collection from tens of thousands of additional subjects have provided further support for his hypothesis.
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. From our research, we know that most of the other words at that level of difficulty will now be learned very quickly. These other words are absorbed and the student is now ready for the next level.
Until WordSmart was developed, there was no easy way for individuals to partake of the fruits of the Johnson O'Connor vocabulary research. We have spent considerable time and effort incorporating this proven methodology into the WordSmart product. Plus, we've taken it even further by adding a number of engaging techniques that take advantage of the computer's multimedia capabilities to gauge progress automatically, fortify retention of the new words and concepts through spoken discussions, and hold the users interest with interactivity and games.

Where to Start
The WordSmart series as a whole includes easier vocabulary in Volume A, and more difficult and complex words in the later levels to Volume J. Use the Placement Test to find out what one's level is (A to J), and start at the appropriate volume. It is critical that a person begins at an appropriate level so that the challenge of learning is neither too great nor too easy. As in Toinbee's dissertation of the Challenge of the Environment, one must be comfortable with a level, though stimulated enough to increase one's vocabulary by just the right amount of challenge.
Start at your appropriate level and progress through to Volume J. After going through Volume J, proceed backwards from the level you started with and review previous volumes backward to A.
Going forward and learning new vocabulary is only part of the objective of the course. Reviewing more elementary vocabulary and learning the Greek, Latin or other root of the word can establish a better foundation and allow one truly to master the English language.
