Who this vocabulary journal is for

This journal is for students and adults who want to grow a richer vocabulary, whether for school essays, standardized tests, reading enjoyment or learning English as a new language. It suits middle and high school students, college applicants, avid readers and English language learners. Words stick when you write them down, use them in a sentence and review them over time, and this journal turns that simple method into a steady habit.

How to use your vocabulary journal

Record new words on the word log with the meaning, part of speech and your own example sentence. Make word cards for quick practice and mark each word on the review tracker as you revisit it. Group words by topic, such as science or emotions. Explore word roots and families to unlock new meanings. List easily confused words like affect and effect. Save favorite phrases from books, and review your monthly progress.
