I owe a lot of credit to the NYT for the genesis of VocabSushi.  A few years ago, when I was tutoring some students for the SAT and the ISEE, I would tell them “go and read a few NYT articles for homework and circle the vocab words you don’t know and I’ll test you on them when I see you next week.”  And that’s basically how VocabSushi started.

So it’s great to see the Times showing off what their momma gave them - the fact that they are an incredible resource for learning vocab in a variety of engaging ways (fill ins, dictionary look ups, podcasts, etc).

Check out the thorough list of methods they outline.  How does VocabSushi compare?  Are there any features you think VocabSushi should add?
