At Palfrey Infant School we understand that understanding and developing vocabulary is essential to ensure our pupils have the best possible learning outcomes.
Our pupils , many with English as an additional language are introduced to a range of vocabulary to extend and enhance their understanding.
Research shows that a wide vocabulary and the ability to discuss and learn new vocabulary, improves reading comprehension as our pupils develop their fluency in reading.
Through using subject specific vocabulary our pupils, learn terminology in all curriculum subjects in a structured way.
Please note these lists are not exhaustive and are developed and reviewed regularly.
