Word a Day for an entire school year to build vocabulary

(0)
This is a Word a Day to increase pupils’ vocabulary, using relevant pictures, definitions and synonyms. These are picture words, enough for a Word a Day for an entire school year! It is an easy and effective way to boost a school’s vocabulary. Aimed at KS3, KS4, KS5 or the vocabulary could provide some upper KS2 extension. This resource could have a powerful impact on an entire school’s vocabulary acquisition, if the word a day pictures are added to newsletters or lessons. I’ve made two small free Word a Day resources available to demonstrate how useful the resource can be, so you can try those out in a classroom.

Build Vocabulary - Word a Day - pictures to build word knowledge

This is a free sample of a Word a Day resource that I have made with over 600 words. The bought resource is a big enough word a day collection for 3 and a half school years. There is a related picture and synonym to aid comprehension. I hope it will be a way for whole schools to increase the vocabulary of their pupils, through use in lessons, newsletters or assemblies. Aimed at KS3, KS4 and KS5 but the word a day may also have some application with able pupils in upper KS2.
