Having a command of language is like a fire that illuminates the night, only the night will be your future.

The Right Word uses a comprehensive approach to learning vocabulary, enabling readers to not just memorize “spelling words” but to use those words proficiently in a sentence and in conversation. Having a command of language gives readers power over situations that might seem unsurmountable and will also empower them with the ability to write an impressive resume and cover letter for their dream job or even a convincing letter to a company regarding a warranty claim.

The Right Word:

  • uses a holistic approach. Memorizing a word’s definition is not enough. Before one can adequately use words in real-life conversations, he/she must know how words function in sentences, meaning whether they are nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs—and be able to use them in context.
  • helps increase reading speed by helping readers learn how to recognize context clues.
  • helps readers to break down words into parts in order to examine their meaning and etymology (history or origin).
