Another reason for learning vocab (any subject)


Recommended Posts

Heard this stat tossed out today that gave me a new "reason" to give kids when they groan with vocab at school (English, science, math - whichever subject):

 

Babies know 0 words.

 

Average college grads know roughly 30,000 words.

 

This means, on average, people learn 4 words per day every day of their life (we all know this isn't linear, but...).

 

Gotta get those 4 words in to not fall below the curve!   :coolgleamA:   Doing so just helps keep you up with the Jones'.
