Boost Your Child’s Confidence in ELA with Key Vocabulary!
Mastering English Language Arts (ELA) is about more than just reading and writing. Understanding the vocabulary used in assignments and directions is crucial for success.

These words frequently appear in reading passages, writing prompts, and directions, so familiarizing your child with them will strengthen their comprehension and communication skills.
You can also scroll through different grade levels to see which ELA vocabulary words are coming next, helping your child stay one step ahead in their preparation!Start today by dedicating a few minutes each day to reviewing this list of steps, which can lead to big improvements!
