Vocabulary site shared by Dr. Richard Gacka
Here's what Dr. Gacka has to say about the site: "The web site referenced below addresses several important elements of vocabulary development. First, it addresses the words that are used frequently. Secondly, it presents an audio "speaking" of each word. And lastly, it presents sentences that illustrate how the work might be used. It is free and easy to use."
