learning vocabulary is essential. It even enhances
both grammatical and comprehension skills.

speaking, writing and reading.

flowery words daily to the students. Though, it is
important to teach words daily but at times it is
difficult to figure out as what words to teach.

4. Types of Words are classified in four
different categories
• Level I
• Level II
• Level III
• Level IV

5. Level I words –
These words are used in everyday speech over and over. Since these are
frequently used kids learn them quickly. Example: house, cat umbrella, girl etc.
Level II words –
These are likely to be learned only through instruction or reading. These are
referred to as the vocabulary of the educated person.
Level III words –
These words are associated with a particular professional or field. These make up
technical vocabulary.
Level IV words –
These kinds of words are interesting but quiet rare. Such words are not even
associated with any professional or field of study.

students.

the children. As far as reading is concerned it is
important to perform this activity. This activity is
required for the immediate success in enhancing
vocabulary.
