TESTIMONIALS
Words Liive is a phenomenal resource for any teacher instructing in English Language Arts, History, Civics, or Social Studies. Not only have they developed a program that has helped teachers blend the Cultural Arts into their traditional curriculum, but the new platform actually responds to students’ cultural preferences, in real-time!From Friendship Public Charter School in Washington, DC
With a keen focus on the performance of my students, Sage sought to provide a custom experience for my lesson plans. I was able to directly request additional music for my next lesson on 'Point of View'. Within one day, they made another ancillary lesson available on the platform. This time, the song was Lupe Fiasco’s song He Say, She Say. The perfect content addition for my students! At this point, I realized that using the Words Liive beta was in fact a feasible tool and a great method of augmenting my existing lesson plans.From Crossroads Preparatory Academy in Kansas City, MO
As a full-time mother raising boys in our nation’s capital, I have spent a great deal of time and resources seeking out opportunities that I felt would enhance their academic and cultural development in our great city. Words Liive, I was pretty sure, would interest my hip-hop loving teenager, but I had no idea his younger brother would enjoy it as much as he did. The boys came home every afternoon sharing things they’d learned from the Words Liive class. The most exciting part for me was hearing my reluctant reading teen linking rap lyrics to historical facts and texts. He developed an interest in history and literature that he didn’t have before! And I’m fairly certain that Words Liive’s teaching style contributed greatly to this spark that had been lit. From a parent in Washington, DC
