About Word Aware
Word Aware is an acclaimed approach to enhancing vocabulary development in alignment with the science of language and reading (SOLAR/SoR). The program uses the latest research in language and literacy to equip teachers and other professionals with practical tools and strategies to enhance the vocabulary skills of children. Developed through years of clinical and classroom experience, the Word Aware framework is an effective and time-efficient method for expanding both spoken and written vocabulary.
