After a report of the US Education Department revealed continuous erosion and steady decline of vocabulary knowledge among the school kids, education reformer Manisha Shelley Kaura along with her physician father researched thoroughly on the problem. They discovered that the lack of root words knowledge is the reason behind kids’ poor vocabulary skills in the country. In an interview, Vocab Tunes’ author Manisha points out that “lack of root knowledge in school kids is the reason behind the decline of vocabulary skills”. To improve this dreadful situation, the father-daughter duo has created a four-level K-12 vocabulary program to help children increase their word stock.

A Xavier University, Cincinnati alumnus Manisha believes, “Singing and dancing is a whole mind/body experience, also students are more interested in learning through music and songs other than monotonous classroom activities. Therefore, while preparing our Vocab Tunes’ programs we focused on making it a melodious learning activity.”
