I'm an avid word game player. I always brought the word games to family gatherings. Even from a young age one of my Christmas gifts was the newest word game. No wonder I became a teacher.

I have taught for over forty years and the best part of that was teaching learners of all ages from 4 to adults on four different continents how to read, a major part of that was building words, a strong vocabulary.

I have been a Principal and a business owner for 21+ years and know the value of a robust vocabulary. That's why I created "Build a Word - Exercises In Building Your Vocabulary," to give your learner a leg up in school now and for their future success.
