Grade 5 · Reading · Lesson 8

Keep a vocabulary journal

A vocabulary journal is a notebook (or single document) where you keep track of every interesting word you meet. It is different from a worksheet — the words come from real reading, real classes, real conversations. Over a year, a journal turns into a personal dictionary of words you actually use.

What this lesson teaches

1Record new words in a five-field vocabulary journal
2Write your own definition and example sentence for each word
3Note where you met the word so you can revisit the context
4Build a habit of three to five new entries every week
