Reading and vocabulary – improve yours…

One of the great things about reading good literature is how you can unwittingly expand your vocabulary. You can often work out the meaning of a word by considering the context in which a new word is used.

In today’s world another option is available on the internet. In a game form, you can test your knowledge of words, while at the same time working to end world hunger - this is the Free Rice game.

FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com. and it has two goals:

To provide English vocabulary to everyone for free.
To help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.

It’s worth a visit for the challenge and the chance to encourage the sponsors of the site to contribute to world hunger issues by donating free rice. (The rice is paid for by the advertisers whose names you see on the bottom of your vocabulary screen.)

WARNING: This game may make you smarter. It may improve your speaking, writing, thinking, grades, job performance, etc. Try a visit yourself, and let us know what you think - have your word skills improved? Don’t forget to check out the rice tally too.
