INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION
The main objective of Knoword is to guess words based on their definition and first letter.
 ADVANTAGES OF USING KNOWORD

When we learn a language, there are four skills

that we need for complete communication:
reading, speaking, writing and listening.

Which brings me to my next point, which is

that Knoword could help in developing skills
such as reading and writing.

ASSIGNMENTS

Assignments are a way for teachers to see the

results of their students playing a particular pack.

You may also choose a time limit (or none), and add
notes that will appear on the screen before your
student starts the assignment.

You can set a due date and time for the assignment,
after which students won't be able to start an
assignment.
HOW TO USE KNOWORD IN YOUR ENGLISH CLASS

• Consider that you are teaching body parts. To make sure your students
know the vocabulary by heart, you can assign a pack in Knoword about
body parts and see their performance. Knoword can be used to review
what the students learned in class.

• At the start of class on your interactive whiteboard or projector, divide the

class into small groups and each one has a time to answer correctly.
