Verbocity is the largest, most functional and flexible vocabulary system available. And at $28.95 for an unlimited subscription it is also one of the best values in education. No other program can match our performance in the following 4 crucial criteria:
Speed Quality Coverage Retention
Speed – To build a vocabulary quickly you need to study only the words you need and avoid the words you don’t. Verbocity offers more word lists than any other program. We have word lists for all the standardized tests and nearly every reading assignment from grade school through college. And, if we don’t have the word list you need, we’ll create it. Furthermore, Verbocity records every word you study and generates lessons containing only the words you need to learn.
Quality – Verbocity’s superior quality is evident in everything from its hand-crafted definitions to its numerous illustrative example sentences. Each definition clearly states the word's meaning. On average, we provide at least 7 example sentences that demonstrate proper usage in different contexts. Sentences range from simple to complex and include common catch phrases, famous quotes, and idioms. Students learn not just the meaning but also the nuances and connotations of each word.

Retention – Retention is our highest priority. It starts with clear, concise definitions and multiple examples of usage. We promote active learning and integration by requiring students to submit a sentence of their own for each target word. Finally, the retention exercises at the end of each lesson provide reflection and systematic reinforcement of previously learned material to maximize retention. The end result is that Verbocity students typically retain over 95% of the words they study.
