This 10 session vocabulary course offers a way for 5th graders to broaden their vocabulary learning, or gaining a deeper understanding of, the meaning and usage of words such as: dedicate, withdraw, enact, pasture, garment and many others. As a 5th grade course the primary age target is 10-11 year olds. However, younger and older children may benefit from the course depending on their level of vocabulary development since there is some variance in each child's language development compared to what might be considered 'average' for a given grade level. This course is past of a series you can pick the grade level that is appropriate for them, and progress to the next course in the series, regardless of their actual grade, once they have mastered the vocabulary contained in this course. Vocabulary is learned in multiple ways to keep the course interesting including definition explanations, similar words, quiz questions, using words in a sentence, exploring word origins and telling stories to show words in context. In this multi-faceted approach to vocabulary acquisition your child will build a fuller understanding of language in context and be exposed to the words taught at multiple points throughout the course aiding retention.

Word Quest: Essential Terms For Curious 5th Graders, A Child's Vocabulary Builder

This is a vocabulary learning course targeted at a 6th grade level. Examples of the words included in this course are arid, thesis, hazardous, verdict, nationality and ratio. Words are examined in multiple ways to reinforce learning, since you need to be exposed to words 10-20 times in different contexts in order to understand new vocabulary and then use it appropriately. For example, words are used with their definitions as you might expect, but then word origins, sentence usage, similar words and other activities are used to help word learning. This is an ideal way to broaden your child's vocabulary in an interesting and stimulating way. Of course, the target 6th grade level is a broad estimate and most children between 5th and 8th grades should be able to improve their vocabulary to some degree with this course. It is also part of a series with a specific audiobook for each grade level.
