Word Cartoons

What's this all about?
WordCartoons.com was founded on two principles: 1. Vocabulary is important, and 2. We think in pictures: Students who learn vocabulary using visual mnemonics retain significantly more than students who don’t. Each Word of the Day cartoon is hand-drawn and digitized to maximize retention. The definitions here, and in my books, however, were written with simplicity in mind and are not comprehensive. In order to get a thorough sense of a word’s meaning, ask your English teacher or consult reliable sources: dictionaries, thesauruses, reference texts, etc.—especially when preparing for tests.

This app provides Word of the Day cartoons with vocabulary words on them in a quiz format and allows the user to play the quiz game in order to improve their vocabulary.
