Check understanding
- Use academic vocabulary (e.g., analyse, evaluate, justify, convey, imply) accurately and appropriately in essay writing
- Incorporate domain-specific terms from a subject studied (e.g., 'photosynthesis', 'legislature') into explanatory writing
- Draw a new word or phrase from a text read and use it consciously in own writing or speech
“Does your child pick up new words from books and lessons and actually use them in their own writing and conversation — not just understand them when someone else uses them?”
