English Raven's Word Hoard 500
Vocabulary Development System for YLs of English
Overview:
English Raven's Word Hoard 500 is a special 'picture dictionary' system that introduces young learner students to 250 more common English words taken from thematic vocabulary listings provided for the Cambridge Young Learners of English Tests Movers level, as an extension and addition to the first Wordhoard 250 resource.
In addition to the five new words per page and regular spelling test sheets format, each workpage has a word grouping activity at the bottom to practice convocation and collocation skills with the five new words.
Contents:
Each download in the system contains 5 pages each with 5 words, plus a review page for practicing spelling. The words are numbered and at the top of each page there are spaces to indicate the running word count and the teacher's signature. Pages within each download and the vocabulary featured are listed below (note that differences between British and American spelling and/or vocabulary are indicated with a slash).
