P5 Vocabulary List

[Monica Okane]

TheWord Up Project teaches students words that they are likely to encounter on high-stakes tests. Flocabulary's research team created these word lists by first compiling words from grade-appropriate novels and basal readers (with an emphasis on Tier 2 words). The researchers then analyzed how often these vocabulary words appeared on state tests. The words that appeared most often are the ones taught in The Word Up Project.

For each reading level, our researchers looked at state tests at that level and two grade levels above. So the words taught in Level Indigo (grade 5) are those words that are both found in 5th grade reading material and are most likely to appear on state tests in 5th, 6th and 7th grades. You can view a pdf of the compiled word lists here or choose your grade level below.

Additionally, we have a series of songs that teach SAT vocabulary words. The 500 challenging words were chosen based on a study of the vocabulary that appeared on the SAT most frequently over the course of five years. You can see the pdf of the SAT vocabulary here.

When creating a Vocabulary List, keep in mind Read&Write will only collect individual words and not sentences. If you highlight a list of words all at once, the Vocabulary List builder thinks it is a sentence and nothing will appear on the Doc.

In ninth grade, students are making the transition into advanced learning that will prepare them for college, careers, and beyond. These students are exploring history, science, writing, and literature, and being able to spell and comprehend a great many multisyllabic words with multiple meanings is an important skill.

Students at this stage are likely also preparing to take practice SAT and ACT tests within the coming year or so, making it all the more important for them to have a rich and robust vocabulary. Reviewing these word lists, practicing with flash cards, and taking advantage of our spelling and definition quizzes will help kids slowly and steadily make progress on this goal. Here are three word lists to help tenth graders feel ahead of the curve.

You can export a list of custom words and phrases created in one user's Dragon vocabulary and save it to a TXT or XML file that other users can then import into their own vocabularies.

The Universal Core vocabulary is a set of 36 highly useful single words that can be used alone or in combination to communicate for a range of purposes on countless topics with a wide variety of communication partners. Several formats are available to support student access through direct pointing or touch, eye gaze selection, and partner-assisted scanning on the Project Core website.

The set of words that compose the Universal Core vocabulary were identified and prioritized by the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies through a systematic processing of compiling existing lists of core vocabulary, lists of words on speech generating devices and communication apps, and investigating the frequency of the words in written language and the communication demands of academic instruction. This process is described in detail in a technical report and numerous presentations and publications.

The Universal Core vocabulary was produced, in part, under U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs GrantsNo. H327S140017.

Review and Sort the List: Scroll down on the list page to see all the words on the list, their definitions, example sentences, and any notes you added to each word. Sort the list alphabetically, by difficulty, or by the order in which it was made. You can also choose to view the list as a simple comma-separated list, or complete with full definitions, example sentences, and notes.

Practice a List: Click the Practice button to start an exercise that will ask you a few questions on every word on the list. The more questions you get wrong on a word, the more questions we'll show you for that word. Repeat practice activities as many times as you like. Practice is great for brushing-up on a list before a test. Of course, if we notice you're having any trouble with any words during practice, we'll automatically add them to your overall learning program.

Flip through Flashcards: Flashcards are at the top of every list page. Flip through to familiarize yourself with the words. You can use the shuffle button to randomize the order of the words and use the speaker phone icon to listen to the pronunciation.

Assign a List to your classes: If you are a teacher, you can easily select an activity and assign a list to one or more of your classes. After you assign a list, your students will be notified of the assignment the next time they log in. Plus, you'll be able to track how much work each of your students have done on the list.

Averil Coxhead from the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies developed and evaluated The Academic Word List (AWL) for her MA thesis. This list is a very useful resource for English for Academic Purposes teachers and learners.

The 570 word families of the AWL are divided into 10 lists (called sublists) according to how frequent they are. Sublist 1 has the most frequent word families, sublist 2 the next most frequent word families, up to sublist 10, which has the least frequent. Each sublist contains 60 word families, except for sublist 10, which only has 30.

The list below contains all 570 headwords in the AWL, along with sublist number, and related word forms. All words contain hyperlinks to the Wordnet dictionary, hosted on this site (definitions open in an alert box on the same page).

Below is a complete copy of the Academic Word List. It shows headwords, sublist, and individual word forms. There are hyperlinks giving definitions. There is an alternative version of the list, with frequency information for individual word forms, on another page.

Subject cataloging depends on lists of controlled subject access vocabulary and thesauri. Library of Congress catalog records generally feature subject access points from one or more of the following thesauri and headings lists.

In publication since 1909, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) is the only subject headings list accepted as a worldwide standard. LCSH is available through Classification Web, which is updated daily; subscriptions may be purchased through the Cataloging Distribution Service. New headings and revisions to existing headings are approved every month. The approved monthly lists are available on the Acquisitions and Bibliographic Access web page.
