Subject specific vocabulary

This half term in English we have been learning about the purpose of an information text and the key features. Today we focused on the subject specific vocabulary and highlighted any words we were unsure of and found the definitions using a dictionary.

Using a dictionary, can you define any words you’re unsure of in your reading book and create a glossary?

    Specific vocabulary means words which are either used specifically in that subject area (and not in general English), or common words which are used with special meaning in that subject area.
