Our advice is to carefully work through these words and ensure children can explain their meaning and craft an example sentence before attempting to use them in practice papers. For example, let them read newspaper/magazine articles on your iPad (we all know kids love any excuse to use tech😉).

Children should continue to be read to at this age, alongside reading by themselves, allowing for discussion and questioning of the vocabulary read, and encouraging growth in contextual understanding.Find out more information on our Developing Vocabulary page to help your child develop a strong vocabulary with a good understanding of the words.
