Benefits

Develop the vocabulary necessary for academic successRenaissance English in a Flash® develops the vocabulary of English learners for academic success. After a short placement test, students build vocabulary—beyond conversational skills—to support them across the content areas.

English in a Flash helps English learners and low-vocabulary students learn high-frequency (monkey), low-frequency (orangutan) and content-area (mammal) vocabulary necessary for classroom success in about 15 minutes a day. Because words are used in context, students develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.

As students progress through lessons, quizzes, and reviews, you’ll have feedback to personalize instruction, provide encouragement, and intervene effectively. Monitor vocabulary acquisition, determine class progress, keep parents involved, and guide students to appropriate books with a variety of reports.

Encounter vocabulary in authentic literatureResearch shows a strong connection between vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension. English learners must know 90-98% of the words to successfully understand what is read.

As students build vocabulary, they need opportunities to engage with those words in authentic literature to assure mastery. To support this, more than 11,000 books have been scanned and aligned to English in a Flash libraries. As students learn vocabulary, they can find books containing words they are sure to know.

After reading the book and encountering words in context, students take a short quiz in Renaissance Accelerated Reader® to check comprehension.
