Building Vocabulary

Growing Your Word Power

The more words you know, the easier it is to express yourself! Building vocabulary means learning new words and what they mean.

How to Grow Your Vocabulary

  • Read a lot: Books, comics, and articles are full of new words.
  • Ask questions: If you find a word you don't know, look it up or ask someone.
  • Play word games: Crossword puzzles and word searches are fun ways to learn.

Using New Words

Try using new words in your conversations and writing. The more you use them, the better you'll remember them!

Real-World Connection

Knowing lots of words helps you understand instructions, follow directions, and share your ideas with others.

Examples

  • Instead of 'happy,' you might use 'joyful,' 'cheerful,' or 'gleeful.'

  • When reading, you find the word 'enormous' and learn it means 'very big.'

In a Nutshell

Learning new words helps you communicate better.
