Vocabulary study, therefore, is an essential component of the English language arts block, as well as content areas like science and social studies. K-12 Students need to be able to determine word meaning to better comprehend text at hand and to become better readers. Vocab tests are a great way to practice these words and retain meanings.

The focus of vocabulary study in elementary school is on building skills that determine word meaning, like identifying context clues and grade-appropriate Greek and Latin affixes and roots. In middle and high school, students are expected to use vocabulary word knowledge in writing and to be able to decipher between inferred and non-literal nuances of language. VocabularySpellingCity acknowledges that vocabulary study is essential in grades K-12 and provides students with the opportunity to engage in vocabulary practice tests.
