We've heard from some of you lately that "search" on our site is not the bees knees. We're sad it's not up to snuff, but we're happy you like us enough to let us know!

We're working on it and will keep you updated.

Gayle, a 6th and 7th grade teacher from Gibsonton, FL, wrote to us with a great idea she calls, "Vocabulary Imprinting:"

"I teach my middle school students content area vocabulary by having them take turns reading every other word with a partner. We do this for one minute every day. It eliminates the problems of decoding and fluency and signals that this is an important word in our study. Pre and post-test results show amazing growth in vocabulary."
