Sniglets: Give a Twist to Teenage and Adult Vocabulary Instruction.

Atkinson, Rhonda Holt; Longman, Debbie Guice

Journal of Reading, v29 n2 p103-05 Nov 1985

Sniglets, a word game popularized by comedian Rich Hall, provide teachers and students with a break from the monotony of vocabulary drill by allowing students to make words of their own, practice inferential skills in developing and identifying the meanings, and learn how words are created and made a part of language.
