Vocabulary Site

Welcome to Freerice.org (see the icon on the lower right-hand side of our blog.) Freerice is a non-profit website that is owned by and supports the United Nations World Food Program. According to their website, Freerice has two goals:
  • To provide education to everyone for free.
  • To help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
 
According to Freerice, learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits. It can help you to:
  • Better formulate your ideas
  • Write more effective papers, emails and business letters
  • Speak more precisely and persuasively
  • Comprehend more of what you read
  • Read faster because your comprehension improves

Have fun exploring the site!
