Mastered Words:
Level Up Your Learning!

Our Banked Words and Mastered Words system adds a fun twist to vocabulary and spelling practice. When students complete a vocabulary or spelling test, the words they encounter are saved in their Banked Words list, building a personalized pool for continued practice.

Students can then revisit these words and take on new challenges to master them. Each mastered word moves to their Mastered Words list, highlighting progress and boosting retention.

Best of all, mastering words earns students playtime with their Virtual Study Pet, Zoodle—making learning both rewarding and fun!

Launch Contests. Boost Engagement. Make Word Mastery a Blast!

Vocab Loco Contests are a fun and powerful way to keep students motivated as they grow their vocabulary. Teachers can easily create contests right from the admin panel by selecting a date range and choosing a goal—either Banked Words or Mastered Words.

Students can compete individually or work together as a class toward a shared goal. These contests encourage consistent practice, build accountability, and make vocabulary learning feel like a game.

When the contest ends, celebrate your students’ progress with prizes and special incentives. Whether it’s a pizza party, extra recess, or game coins, rewards keep the excitement going and turn vocabulary growth into something students genuinely look forward to.
