The power of choice
Teachers have the flexibility to choose from pre-made vocabulary lists with personalization options or to create their own custom lists. This easy-to-use functionality enables teachers to supplement vocabulary instruction in their literacy block, regardless of what core curriculum they use.
Time-saving resources
All vocabulary lists, whether premade or customized, come with printable resources, including one-week lesson plans, worksheets, word lists, and digitally assignable student practice games. Supporting resources and practice games dynamically adjust to personalized lists so teachers don’t need to spend additional time searching for materials.
Support for differentiating practice
Teachers have multiple options for assigning preset digital activities—they can assign them in a sequence, by specific activities for targeted practice or by skill category. Small groups can receive assignments based on their unique needs in phonics, spelling, and/or vocabulary.

“Vocabulary A-Z is fun and engaging for the kids and such a help to teachers. I love the built-in differentiation. I can put my kids' vocabulary lists into the program and assign only the activities I want them to use, and I can make a separate word list for kids that would benefit from different activities.”

Vocabulary A-Z is essential for educators.
Take a look at how Clear Creek Elementary has used Vocabulary A-Z and other Learning A-Z solutions to strengthen vocabulary skills and reading comprehension across content areas.
