Vocabulary is the bread and butter of language. A wide vocabulary and the ability to effectively apply that knowledge can mean the difference between a boring sentence and literary prowess. However, for many students, building that vocabulary is a chore they’d rather not endure. But it doesn’t have to be, thanks to our collection of vocabulary worksheets geared toward elementary schoolers of all ages. From entertaining word searches, scrambles, and crossword puzzles across a myriad of topics to learning how to use context clues and other strategies to determine word meanings, there’s a worksheet to engage and support your child as they build their vocabulary and move toward reading fluency. These worksheets work great in the classroom or at home to supplement and build vocabulary around any learning topic, such as animals, sports, civil rights, historical figures, and more. Repeated exposure to new words through regular reading habits and conversations with parents and teachers from an early age will help cement these new words and prepare your child’s brain to recognize and absorb new vocabulary for years to come.
