How To Use Vocabulary Worksheets

Vocabulary is a vital skill in being successful in reading. If children do not understand the meaning of the words they are reading, they will have difficulty comprehending what they read. Children should be exposed to different types of texts and explicitly taught the definitions of words in those texts. You should use literature as well as current events to create vocabulary lists for your child. This worksheet generator will allow you to provide worksheets for independent practice.

Use this vocabulary worksheet generator to create your own customized vocabulary worksheets including written vocabulary worksheets, true or false vocabulary worksheets, multiple choice vocabulary worksheets, matching vocabulary worksheets, sentences vocabulary worksheets, definitions vocabulary worksheets, or create your own flashcards to use for fun games or for independent practice.

All vocabulary worksheets allow you to create your own word lists or select from our word lists by grade level. Once you have entered the vocabulary words into the worksheet generator you can select which type of worksheet you want to create, if you would like to answer with the term or the definition, how many questions you would like on the worksheets and if you entered an image (this is optional) you can select if you would like it to be shown on the worksheet or not.

There are pre-made vocabulary word lists for first grade through twelfth grade based on common content vocabulary for that grade level. These are only suggestions if you do not know what words you should use for your child or if you would like extra practice. If you are not satisfied with the definition provided, you can add or edit to make it exactly what you want.
