TOwords - Helping Children Truly Remember Words

TOwords is dedicated to helping children solve spelling, listening, and speaking issues regarding words, allowing children to firmly grasp words comprehensively.

TOwords is the first word memorization app in China (established in 2010) and is officially recommended by the Apple App Store for word memorization. TOwords, based on linguistics, psychology, and neuroscience, has innovated the English "Deliberate Acquisition Model" with "deliberate training + natural acquisition" as its core. It has created a scientific "Word Grading System for Elementary and Middle School Students," helping children surpass textbook limitations, advance freely, and easily take the lead.

TOwords has carefully designed multi-tiered incentive systems such as scholarships, medals, study buddies, and snail shells to consistently motivate children positively, ensuring they have a strong interest in learning actively and truly achieve proficiency in word memorization without parental stress. Although TOwords is a word memorization app, it provides personalized one-on-one guidance from dedicated teachers solely to help children truly remember words. TOwords solemnly promises a refund at any time if the service is ineffective.

Words Cannot Be Memorized Merely by Rote Learning

Both English and Chinese are languages. Unlike subjects such as math, physics, and chemistry that can be mastered through understanding principles and formulas or subjects like history, geography, and biology that require memorizing knowledge structures for exams, language is a dynamic core skill that demands continuous training in input, critical thinking, reflection, and output to comprehend, internalize, analyze, and express. Language serves as a medium of thought, a shared product of social communication among people, and is also the foundation for learning all other disciplines. Therefore, irrespective of whether it's words or English, relying solely on rote memorization is akin to a difficult path full of obstacles that few can successfully traverse repeatedly. Only through "Deliberate Acquisition" can one find a broad highway to efficiently reach the destination of their dreams. The key aspect of deliberate acquisition lies in using scientific methods coupled with sustained action. Whether they are elementary school students or adults, to truly remember words, achieve good grades, and realize English proficiency freely, carefully read the following methods and key points as they are crucial determinants of success.

Spelling Training

Spelling training constitutes the core training for Levels 1-3 of the Elementary-Middle School Student Word Grading System. Through listening exercises, repetition drills, spelling practice, and verification steps, children not only enhance their listening, speaking, and writing skills but also naturally acquire critical "spelling capabilities." Once children master solid spelling skills, they will hold the key to writing and reading words. They will be able to effortlessly spell out unfamiliar words when heard and pronounce them when seen.

Example Sentence Training

The example sentence training acts as complementary training for Levels 1-3 of the Elementary-Middle School Student Word Grading System. Sentences represent the smallest real context in English. Within this training session, children engage in activities such as listening to pronunciations, repeating after them while contemplating Chinese translations to deepen their understanding of word meanings and usages. This continual practice helps fortify foundational skills for listening comprehension and speaking validation aiding significantly in improvements concerning reading and listening sections during English exams.

Definition Training

The definition training commences at Level 4 of the Elementary-Middle School Student Word Grading System (i.e., PET phase). Children grasp the meanings and usages embedded within English definitions by listening to readings of word meanings in English themselves. Subsequently connecting them to corresponding words while finally completing spelling exercises. Definition training stands as the most robust yet challenging workout within the TOwords system signifying a pivotal leap in a child's journey toward mastering English learning. Once children tackle definition training effectively commencing a paradigm shift wherein learning English with English becomes habitual ensuring a perpetual enhancement in English thinking leading toward smooth expressway progress in their language abilities.
