What Users Love About the App

“Movie clips demonstrating word meanings as well as interesting examples and lots of audio support engage students. Practice session ranges from five to 15 minutes are just right for student attention spans.”

“Students study appropriately challenging words in context — with multimedia support and word origins included. Teachers can set practice requirements for each week and schedule or push out assessments.”

“This is a fantastic, easy to use teaching tool. There are many support videos within the program for teachers and students. Membean actually gleams information from a team of teachers across the country gaining feedback on the program, which is why enhancements and updates are frequent to meet the needs of students and teachers.”

“I would use this product with a small group or an individual. It may be better used individually as you need to do a pre-assessment of your vocabulary before beginning the program to determine your level.”

“I really like Membean. It is a unique way to use digital technology to advance vocabulary learning. Students will tell me that they have run across their Membean words in other books or writing.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“This is not the most exciting format, as you independently study information about a word, then have to answer a quiz questions and then spell the word.”
