Hi Larry. Great list.
I’d add Free Rice (http://www.freerice.com/). As well as a great vocabulary game you’re contributing to a good cause. Once you start playing you can change the level – there are 60 levels to choose from.

We have made an effort to visualize vocabulary through fun, hand-sketched stick figure sketches @ http://www.weboword.com

We hope you enjoy our creations and look forward to your feedback pertaining to the same.

Thanks and warm regards,

Larry, a quick thank you for this list. I’m on summer hiatus but saw a couple of students yesterday who asked for vocab help.

Note re word searches. I’ve never been a real fan either, and couldn’t see much value in them, but there’s evidently value for Arabic speakers! Perhaps because of the way Arabic is written, they don’t seem to “see” vowels very well in words, and THEY tell me word searches are helpful.

I’m still trying to find a magic technique to teach these bright people how to read more quickly and more successfully in English.

I definitely think that by not including SpanishDict, you left out a really great resource. For native Spanish speakers, it's a wonderful ELL site. They have Spanish translation, and other good free stuff. Good luck!
