Membean works!
Community Review for Membean
My Take
Our school adopted Membean after we phased out our old vocab workbooks. This online program differentiates vocabulary instruction and assessment for all types of learners. Gone are the days when every student in the class studies the same list of 20 words. The best part of the program is its recursiveness. Words are studied repeatedly throughout the year, ensuring that students retain and use the material. I've noticed that my students are eager to use Membean words in their everyday conversations and writing. I've seen a vast improvement in their vocab skills from September to May!
How I Use It
English teachers at our school ask students to complete three 15-minute training sessions each week. These sessions take place in class as a warmup or at home as a homework assignment. Assessments are individualized and given to students in class on their devices every 5-6 weeks. The program grades these assessments itself, freeing up valuable teacher planning time.
