People often say “vocabulary words on PE shirts. What a great idea!” Although the compliment is flattering, we are quick to mention that Vocab-T is much more than words on shirts. Simply putting words on PE shirts is not our goal. In fact, Vocab-T ‘s are merely a medium used to accomplish a much more important objective—student achievement
What we do for Teachers
- We provide teachers with an additional tool that is accurate and informative without adding to their work load.
- We make sure that concepts being taught in the classroom are being re-emphasized for an additional hour each day.

Christina DeSanto
SBRT & Teacher of the Year 2013
Working with Vocab-T has created a unifying theme on our campus. Every student wears the Vocab-T shirts during PE and whether or not they know… our kids are learning those vocabulary words. Through the years, our students’ vocabulary usage has gone up not only in their writing, but in their speaking as well. It’s the funniest thing to walk on campus and hear them using Academic Vocabulary in their everyday conversations. Thanks Vocab-T!

As a Teacher-Librarian, I greatly appreciate the Vocab-T Program which extends vocabulary development beyond the English classroom and School Library setting in a fashionable and innovative way. Daily exposure and practice using high-frequency words is key to literacy development. Analyzing the vocabulary post-assessment results and then tailoring the new word lists to our students' needs each year makes this program from 'One Stone Apparel' unique and beneficial to our students' academic growth. It is a pleasure working with a company that makes clothing such an effective and creative instructional tool!"

Richard Alvarez
Principal
Vocab-T has done a great job at molding the program to fit our students needs. The concepts being taught in the classroom are now continually focused on throughout the year for an additional class period. Having Vocab-T is like having an additional staff member that has our students best interest in mind.

Edward Colacion
Principal
The Vocab-T Program has been thriving for four years at our school creating a culture of vocabulary development and literacy school wide. The Vocab T program allowed our school to target science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics key vocabulary and concepts that support our transition to the implementation of the CCSS. Physical Education teachers and students take on a key role in the implementation of our school wide literacy and numeracy initiatives. We highly recommend schools to consider this program to support the instructional shifts to CCSS and non-fiction vocabulary development.

Vocab-T is a no brainer. Not only does it re-emphasize common core principals but the data they provide is extremely useful.
-
Esther Gass
Assistant Principal
This program is one of the more innovative we have implemented at our school. Although it seems rather simple at first glance, the data analysis they provide and constant changing of words based on student progress is what puts Vocab-T heads and shoulders above any apparel company

What we do for Parents

- We send the parents of students that score 94% or higher a detailed letter explaining to them how special their child is, and let them know that their student is not only at the top of their class but that they are also college bound. Included with the letter is a bumper sticker for them to show their student just how proud they are!

As a National Certified teacher, I routinely research and experiment with methods to increase my students' academic achievement. Vocab T's provides a quality product and service which, I believe, will make a significant improvement in my student's academic language acquisition.

Susan Osendorff
Physical Education Teacher
Vocab T's are one way the Physical Education Department can contribute to the academic culture of the school, create an atmosphere of learning and assist in the shift from current academic testing to the era of common core. The program is easy, risk-free and the results from pre to post test are easily understood and relevant to our course of study

Kathy Ondler
Physical Education Teacher
It is so exciting watching students learn as they are exercising. From
lining up for roll call, running laps, or just playing sports. At our school this is a very popular program that students parents and staff especially love.
-
Jen Zingg
Physical Education Teacher
Vocab-T has a brilliant solution for blending language arts and physical education. Go figure! Words and definitions on the back of PE shirts- what an effective way to reinforce words and concepts students often struggle with. And the best part is that PE teachers just give a quick pre and post test via bubble answer sheets that are delivered to our school. The genius program can only help to raise vocabulary and test scores. Way to go Vocab-T!

David Hastings
