Vocabulary Curriculum

Transform vocabulary by moving beyond definitions

Research has shown that we need to think about each new word we learn in a range of different ways before we master it. So that’s how Bedrock teaches...

Transform your school's vocabulary instruction...

Bedrock's award-winning interactive learning sequence uses student-friendly descriptions, images, synonyms, antonyms and writing opportunities to make sure every learner masters their new language.

Rich and engaging fiction and non-fiction texts form the context for their learning journey, expanding their cultural capital along the way.

Watch: Improving literacy through vocabulary

A child’s vocabulary at age 4 is a reliable predictor of their educational attainment age 18. By using Bedrock’s vocabulary curriculum, you are no longer leaving language acquisition to chance. Our comprehensive vocabulary curriculum teaches academic vocabulary through original fiction and non-fiction and develops literacy for reading, writing and oracy.
