I might be wrong, however.

Isn't one of the mantras of literacy teachers "preview, preview, preview"?! VocabGrabber is an excellent tool for helping teachers introduce the key vocabulary from a given text before tackling the actual text. Sure, you can find those key words yourself, but this tool does it for you (within seconds) and then allows your students to explore the words in context and in interactive word maps. Larry, try it with text you are about to teach, and let your students decide! Wait a minute! Isn’t one of the mantras of literacy teachers “preview, preview, preview”?!
