Grades 6–8 · Vocabulary in context

Ten words. No word list.

Every word arrives inside a sentence, and every sentence has been built with a clue in it — something restated, something contrasted, or a consequence that only makes sense one way. The job is to read around the word rather than recall it.

This is the skill that carries: nobody meets an unfamiliar word with a definition attached, but almost everybody meets one inside a sentence.
