Vocabulous is a website that improves students' English vocabulary skills in Key Stages 2 and 3 English lessons.
Vocabulous uses Latin and Greek root words to teach word patterns. Students use these roots to work out the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary, so that by the end of the programme, they have the skills they need to decipher new words on their own.
For example, the root “scrip-” meaning “write” can help students understand that “inscription”, “manuscript” and “prescription” are all related to writing.
Vocabulous teaches 26 roots and over 1,000 English words in 36 ready-to-use lessons, ideal for weekly use for one academic year or fortnightly for two years.
