""Hi, I'm Cinny Nym, Dean of Faculty at Vocabulary University®.
At http://www.vocabulary.com we operate a FREE educational vocabulary puzzle and activities site. We are passionate about teaching vocabulary in an innovative, interactive way. Our goal is to help give teachers a new resource of interesting content where they can have their students participate in vocabulary activities throughout the 2006-2007 school year.
We are already broadly used in the classroom. We see more than 250,000 unique visitors per month on our web site, and there are over 17,000 schools where participants have registered. Have you registered?
Our activities are available for you to reprint in your classroom and homes. We would appreciate your feedback after you use our content features or anytime. Thank you."

Mark Twain has been attributed as having said: "The difference between the right word and almost the right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug" and "What man can not clearly state he does not know." We have detailed below our calendar matrix of existing and "planned" content. These "teacher-features" should help your lesson planning efforts. We encourage all ages to improve their vocabulary. This matrix should help in your vocabulary acquisition.
