Learning New Words

Vocabulary means all the words you know and use. The bigger your vocabulary, the easier it is to read, write, and speak!

Ways to Build Vocabulary

  • Read lots of different books
  • Talk about new words with friends or family
  • Use new words in your own sentences

Fun with Words

  • Make a word wall at home or in your classroom
  • Draw pictures of new words you learn

Why Vocabulary Is Important

Knowing more words helps you understand what you read and express your ideas better.

Examples

  • Learning the word 'enormous' means very big.

  • Using the word 'delicious' to describe your favorite ice cream.

Learning new words makes reading and talking more exciting.
