Key Vocabulary

Building Better Kids, Vocabulary Edition – Mother Jones

Students with speech and language disabilities rarely learn vocabulary organically. The explicit teaching of key vocabulary is an essential part of their learning process. At Pond Meadow, teachers prepare a comprehensive list of words that are relevant to the students' learning each half-term. We encourage parents to download their child's class vocabulary and use it at home where possible.  

Examples from each Key Stage (Spring 2023) are included below:

Key Stage 1 Key Vocabulary Spring 1 Cycle 2

Key Stage 2 Key Vocabulary Spring 1 Cycle 2

Key Stages 3 & 4 Key Vocabulary Spring 1 Cycle 2
