Denver -- Over the last 18 months, Big Word Club has been
the focus of an MIT-funded evaluation implemented by the
University of Chicago and University of Toronto to measure
the impact of Big Word Club on the vocabularies of
preschool and kindergarten students. The results have been
nothing short of amazing. It seems we have accomplished
something with Big Word that is nearly impossible in
education: an effective (and now evidence-based)
intervention that is both low-cost and requires no teacher
training.
