Schools are not introducing a sufficient amount of vocabulary words for your child to succeed. The teacher will put up 10–20 new vocabulary words on the blackboard each week and ask the children to look up the definitions; a child goes to the dictionary and may not be able to read the word and or the words meaning. Addiitionally, The child is confronted with 5 synonyms they don’t know the meaning of in 5 different contexts, while only getting 1 repetition. No one learns anything with only 1 exposure. So the word is learned only to be forgotten.

If your child is being introduced to only 20 new vocabulary words per week, that means between 4th grade and 12th grade they will learn less than 3,000 words, which is equivalent to a 6th grade level of vocabulary development. Your child needs to be introduced to 20,000 vocabulary words in order for them to be the best they can be in the world. Using The Dicker Reading Method’s watch as your child’s grades, test scores, and confidence soar as they develop a love for reading and school.
