High Schoolers: Learn vocabulary anywhere through interactive games and activities
Perfect for High School Success
The app tracks each student's progress as they build word knowledge, ensuring they master key vocabulary before moving to more challenging levels. When a student uses RootWords regularly, they naturally incorporate new vocabulary words into their academic writing and classroom discussions.

Transform test prep with engaging vocabulary learning
Say goodbye to endless vocabulary cards and word lists. RootWords transforms vocabulary instruction into a fun and engaging experience that gets students excited about learning vocabulary. When students use the RootWords app, they don't just memorize the definition of the word - they learn to decode complex academic vocabulary by understanding word parts and making connections between related terms. Whether preparing for the SAT, ACT, or weekly vocabulary tests, students build lasting vocabulary skills through our proven system.
Benefits beyond test scores
Our vocabulary instruction helps students make sure they're prepared for college-level work. As students write each vocabulary word and practice using it in context, they develop stronger language arts skills. The fun way students engage with words encourages them to keep learning, even outside the classroom. Rather than just memorizing a vocabulary list for Friday's test, students work to build lasting word knowledge that helps them:
-
Improve reading comprehension
-
Enhance writing abilities
-
Develop critical thinking skills
-
Prepare for college academics
