A versatile resource which helps students learn ways to understand new words without using a dictionary.

Designed to be used with any unseen text, this resource encourages students to engage with unfamiliar vocabulary by listing words and choosing strategies to help them figure out their meaning.

This resource is particularly useful for unpicking the meaning of challenging or archaic texts.

It could equally be used by literacy coordinators embedding good practice for developing vocabulary in any subject area.
