Teaching Vocabulary in KS3

“I’m a 1:1 SEN TA and have seen many times how difficult it is for my pupils to express their wishes and thoughts because of their limited vocabulary. Of course this is so frustrating for them and I hope to use your ideas to help them. This has been inspiring! Thank you!” Jackie Johnson, Windmill Hill Academy

We know from research that the size of a child’s vocabulary is the best predictor of success in reading comprehension and future attainment more generally. Children with a poor vocabulary at five are four times more likely to struggle with reading in adulthood. A focus on vocabulary development can make the difference to achievement across the curriculum and ultimately to a child’s life chances. Book your places now and empower your children to succeed!
