How to Choose Academic Vocabulary for Your Core Vocabulary Board
Choosing academic vocabulary for your core vocabulary board can be both fun and impactful! Here are some tips from our teacher team at Teach Starter to help you choose the perfect words for your core vocabulary board.
- Relevance to Curriculum: Choose words that align with the subjects you’re teaching. For example, if you’re covering a science unit, pick words related to that topic.
- Student Interest: Consider words that will engage your students’ interests or connect to their lives. Words related to their favourite books, games or activities can spark enthusiasm.
- Difficulty Level: Select words that are appropriate for your students’ reading levels. Aim for a mix of familiar words that they can deepen their understanding of and new words that challenge them.
- Contextual Usage: Pick words that can be used in various contexts. This helps students see how language works in different situations and encourages them to use the words in their own speaking and writing.
- Frequency of Use: Focus on words that students are likely to encounter often, both in and out of school. This reinforces their relevance and helps students retain them better.
By thoughtfully selecting vocabulary words, you’ll not only enhance your students’ language skills but also make learning exciting and relatable!
Download Your Big Core Vocabulary Board Today!
Getting your Big Core Vocabulary Board is a breeze! Use the dropdown menu located on the Download button and select from the printable PDF and editable Google Slides version of this resource.

Laminate first before using a dry erase marker to write underneath. However, if you are using whiteboard space, you will want to use the whiteboard labels located towards the end of the download. This will allow you to write on the whiteboard located underneath each label.
