Vocabulary and Word Meaning

Growing Your Word Power

Vocabulary means the words you know and use. The more words you know, the easier it is to read, write, and talk about all kinds of things!

Learning New Words

  • Look for unfamiliar words and use clues in the sentence to guess what they mean.
  • Use a dictionary or ask someone to explain new words.
  • Try using new words in your own sentences.

Make Learning Words Fun

Play word games, make flashcards, or start a word journal to collect new and interesting words.

Why Vocabulary Matters

Knowing more words helps you speak clearly, write fun stories, and understand your lessons better.

Examples

  • Read the word 'gigantic' and use clues to know it means 'very big.'

  • Create a sentence using the word 'delighted': 'I felt delighted when I saw my best friend.'
