A PSSA improvement technique that has been implimented at "my" high school this school year is the "Word of the Day." Each week, we are magically supplied (via email) a list of words which are math, science, or reading related. Then, throughout the course of the day, teachers are supposed to review or go over the particular word for that day. Students hear the definition and the word, at least, four times a day.
freerice.com is a site which can enable students to gain some practice with PSSA type vocab words and also contribute rice to the UN World Food Program. What I was kind of surprised to learn was within the FAQ portion. It starts out with easier terms (of course) and then varies according to how you do. Interesting...and slightly addicting.
