Schools and Teachers Get Group Pricing on VerbaLearn, Web-Based Vocabulary Builder for Grades 7-12

"Virtual Classroom" Lets Teachers Track Progress and Incorporate Online Vocabulary Learning Into the Classroom


ACTON, MA--(Marketwire - January 11, 2010) - Schools and teachers can now get group discount pricing on a subscription to VerbaLearn.com, the website for building vocabulary for students in grades 7 through 12.

Schools and school systems can provide a VerbaLearn Plus account to every student in a school or an entire grade level for only 50 cents per student -- while individual student accounts cost $19.99.

Alternatively, teachers can sign up for VerbaLearn's Virtual Classroom for $50, which includes a VerbaLearn Plus account for each student in the class and provides weekly updates to the teacher on students' progress. The Virtual Classroom lets educators easily integrate customized vocabulary building into their classroom by tracking students' progress individually and as a group.

VerbaLearn, http://www.verbalearn.com, combines educational content developed by professors at leading universities with interactive features that make learning new words more fun and effective. It offers grade-level-specific courses at the 7th through 12th grade reading levels that are based on national vocabulary standards.

VerbaLearn automatically customizes each course for each student, so the student reviews only the words he or she doesn't already know. Since VerbaLearn is web-based, there's nothing to install or maintain.

Interactive features include video and print flashcards, downloadable MP3 files for listening on an iPod or a computer, online games and crossword puzzles.

VerbaLearn Basic can be used free at http://www.verbalearn.com. Get a vocabulary word of the day on Twitter: http://twitter.com/VerbaLearn.
