Flocabulary offers some of the highest levels of interaction that we’ve seen. Children react and engage with materials that they genuinely enjoy and Flocabulary’s humor is perfect for many children.
One great way to implement Flocabulary is using it as a primer or introductory material. Flocabulary does an amazing job of igniting interest in a subject. And once a child's interest is sparked, they want to learn more about it. From that point on, it is the parent or teacher’s call as to what comes next.
