The differences between spelling and vocabulary word lists are:

  • Spelling word lists – focuses on how words are spelled and pronounced.
  • Vocabulary word lists – focuses on the meaning of words and using the word in context.

For example. a spelling word list could have words like ‘hat, sat, rat, cat’. A vocabulary word list would have words like ‘greedy, arrive, nervous’.[/vc_toggle][vc_single_image image=”7532″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1439482450751{margin-left: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1452999179707{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1494281710374{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 10px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #41ff28 !important;}”]
