Learning Zones Placement Game
The first thing players see after signing into TargetScore! Vocabulary is our Learning Zones Placement game. The game is designed to put find everyone's individual "learning zone" in our 3000 word sequenced vocabulary list.
What is the Vocabulary-Reading "Learning Zone"?
The place in our 3000 word vocabulary list above which you know most of the words below which you know very few of the words.... and, since vocabulary level equals reading comprehension, when you've found your Vocabulary Learning Zone you've also found your Reading Zone (for more about that see the reading passages in our download library).
What's the Advantage of Starting "In the Zone"?
Research shows that students learn and retain new words up to three times faster if they start "in the zone" than if you give them a traditional, one-size-fits-all word list (You're in sixth grade? OK, here are the sixth grade words).
You can use this chart two ways:
1. To find out which TargetScore! Vocabulary disk your child should begin with: Start with their reading grade level (if you know it) then look at the left-hand column to find out which targeted 300 word Vocabulary Disk to order first. To order call 888-40-WORDS.
2. To interpret a child's Learning Zones Placement results: If a child's vocabulary level is Level 7. Group 1, for instance, then they will be reading at approximately a 5th grade level. If the they scored Level 9, Group 5, they would be reading at about a 9th grade level.
