Have you ever wondered what’s holding your kids back?

Did you know, that reading comprehension is dependent on knowing the meaning of 98% of the words in the text.  Low vocabulary plays a huge role in poor reading comprehension in grades 2-12.  Avid readers “stumble upon” words in books over and over again until deeply understanding the many contexts of those words; however, this process can take years. For those students who aren’t avid readers, this process is not happening at all, locking students into a cycle of reading failure. InferCabulary solves this problem by mimicking the act of avid reading! In InferCabulary, students encounter words in a rich, multi-media environment. They see examples of a word being used in a variety of contexts helping to solidify and refine their understanding of Tier 2 words.

Who is it for? 

InferCabulary was built with grades 3-12 students and teachers in mind. It aligns with standards and includes vocabulary from many award-winning books. Target words can be chosen by grade level, literature title, or by subject. 

Why is it Unique 

Unlike other vocabulary programs, students experience words in a way that makes the meaning stick.  Rote memorization of definitions is a thing of the past. The students encounter the word in six different contexts. They read and/or listen to phrases guiding them to the correct understanding of the concept. Once they find the common thread, the student completes the definition. This process – unlike any other – results in students saying, “I taught myself the meaning of that word” It also results in students recognizing and using these words appropriately in their writing and conversations. Additionally, Important words can be extracted from any text through the use of the Word Extractor tool. Also, teachers and administrators can see student and class-level progress.
