Community Review for Membean
My Take
Students find that they begin to use terms from Membean fluently within the first marking period. By the end of a semester, we have classroom discussions when they encounter words in reading that they have seen in Membean. Soon after that marker, I notice the vocabulary shift into student writing. They begin to use the words not just in discussion and speaking, but also in their essays and discussion posts. The program gives me a wealth of data on students and allows us to celebrate student word achievements.
How I Use It
I teach at an Early College and students need to condense their ELA timeline as they start taking college English as Sophomores. Membean allows me to customize individual students' learning experiences to help them acquire a college-ready vocabulary.
