Word of the Day Tutorial

Every school day, The New York Times Learning Network selects a new vocabulary word for our Word of the Day feature. We define the word, say how often the word has appeared in The Times in the past year and provide an excerpt from a past article that shows how the word is used in context. Then, we invite students to test their understanding of the word in a brief quiz.
