Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary - Grade 5 Second Edition

Finally a vocabulary curriculum that is simple AND effective!

My daughter had a perfect score in vocabulary on her standardized tests this year. I am owing that vocabulary score specifically to your curriculum she used this year!

She loved using it. She thought it was actually fun. It kept her engaged. Her personal vocabulary has exploded in every day usage and it is obviously reflected in those scores – 100%! – Lindsey Stomberg

A robust vocabulary is crucial for the development of verbal and written communication and lays a foundation for reading comprehension and writing skills. Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary is designed to lay a strong foundation in bite-sized steps over 36 weeks for students in grades 1-8.

This simple, straight-forward approach to vocabulary building is easy-to-use and encourages independent study. The format is designed to be flexible — meaning you can assign more than one word a day if you wish to complete it sooner.

Daily Lessons & Weekly Review

Each week presents four new words (one per day) with a weekly review on day five. Your student will be asked to define the new word using a dictionary, use it in a sentence, and list synonyms and antonyms. Every 4th week includes an additional review using the most recent 16 words studied plus a short writing assignment (for grades 1-3 this is 2 sentences and an area to draw an illustration. Grades 4-8 require more writing). You can see the sample of the unit review for this level by clicking the button above.

Dictionary & Thesaurus

For your convenience, we include a glossary of words by week and order studied. Students may use either the glossary for their daily assignments or a dictionary. We recommend the Webster’s For Students Dictionary/Thesaurus set as well as thesaurus.com and dictionary.com.

    This has been such a great addition to our homeschooling. It has helped my 5th grader learn so many new word but also love how he knows how to use a dictionary and thesaurus so well. So in turn has helped him learn how to learn. My son loves it because it not to overwhelming amount of work. So happy I decided to try this vocabulary.

    I love the open and go. I love that it isn’t intense. I love how it is 1 page a day not overwhelming to get my daughter to want to do it, instead of giving up before we even start like she does if something looks like it will take too long.

  5. Joy H.

    I really like that it is open and go, but also flexible. Being able to add more words is very appealing because sometimes my kiddos need more and sometimes they thrive with just a small amount.
