Subject: Literacy

Words are powerful. Enrich your vocabulary and you will be able to speak, listen, read and write more effectively.

Explore important aspects of vocabulary - decoding words, easily confused words, groups of words and new words - through simple explanations, strategies, progressive activities and revision tasks.

This is the only book available that includes a dedicated chapter on inclusive language, to teach pupils how their words can make people feel accepted and understood.

Vocabulary for Literacy equips pupils with the building blocks for success in exams, coursework and adult life, and facilitates literacy development across the curriculum.

> Understand the essentials. Key concepts that pupils need to remember are introduced in 'explanation' boxes.

> Put theory into practice. 'Building', 'Strengthening' and 'Extending' tasks enable pupils to apply their knowledge and skills, through a mix of solo and group work.

> Check and consolidate. 22 photocopiable A-Z activity sheets at the end of the book can be used flexibly for classwork, homework, revision or assessment.

> See the big picture. 'Crossover' boxes make links to prior and future learning, knowledge and skills, encouraging pupils to approach vocabulary holistically.

> Avoid common errors. 'Mistake' boxes contain examples and tips to ensure that pupils get it right in their own speech and writing.

"There is a proven link between an improved vocabulary and increased attainment in Scottish schooling."
