It is quite an honor for the WordAhead team that our website is featured at www.CoolSiteToday.com. The reviewers at CoolSiteToday have covered all the aspects of WordAhead in their remarkable review of our website.
To quote CoolSiteToday:
"Web sites that educate you about a new word every day are a dime-a-dozen. But the reason most of them are ineffective is because vocabulary is built with either context, or a pictorial element. It’s why a child being taught his first words has a big photo of an apple next to the word itself. Previous research has shown that audio-visual elements have a longer span of retention in a person’s memory than pure text. So what’s the best way to enhance your vocabulary? A video-based dictionary, of course! Short and Sweet The makers of WordAhead have compiled over 515 ‘vocabulary videos’ and are seeking to add more all the time. Each video is less than a minute, averaging around 40 seconds. The clip starts with the word’s spelling on screen, which a narrator reads out for proper pronunciation. This is followed by the meaning of the word, also typed out on screen. The narrator then goes on to depict the word’s usage in a sentence, which is complemented by an on-screen image along with the transcript of the sentence. So in less than a minute, you have a new word added to your vocabulary..."
We feel very happy that our efforts are being recognized and a lot of people are enjoying learning new words every day.
Thanks CoolSiteToday for such a nice review!
