INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! Your child or pupil now has an exciting

new product designed to interest and enhance his or her

spelling, reading and writing skills.The LITERACY

WORD BANK is a beneficial and educational tool that

puts fun into learning.

The LITERACY WORD BANK is not only a dictionary

but also a thesaurus with over 50,000 synonyms. It con-

tains a Word Bank of over 100 lists of words grouped by

subjects that the National Literacy Association (NLA)

has put together in partnership with Franklin Electronic

Publishers, Inc. It has automatic phonetic spell correc-

tion so that children almost always find the word they’re

looking for. It has seven educational games including an

Arithmatic Tutor. It also has a calculator to help children

with their homework.

This guide explains how the LITERACY WORD BANK

works and lists some of its beneficial and educational

features. It includes Teachers' Notes from the NLA

explaining the Word Bank lists and suggesting ways of

working with them.We urge you to read this guide thor-

oughly so that you and your child can get the most out

of your new LITERACY WORD BANK.

WORD BANK LISTS -TEACHER’S NOTES

Words are fun. Both those that are familiar, and those

which are completely new, can lead one on a trail forward

to new ideas or backwards to the half remembered past.

In order to help pupils clarify and express their thoughts in

writing, the National Literacy Association, in partnership

with Franklin Electronic Publishers, Inc., has put together

over one hundred lists of words grouped together into

subjects.These subjects range from simple things such

as About me or Food to topics such as Energy or The

Romans, which are prescribed in the National Literacy

Strategy.When choosing the words, we looked first at the

National Curriculum subject areas and the sorts of words

and topics children would require for each.We also

looked at the requirements of the National Literacy

Strategy and the vocabulary that children are required to

know to meet the Strategy’s aims. Most importantly, we

tried to think of the sorts of subjects and words which chil-

dren themselves would choose – and indeed consulted

children wherever possible.

Each subject is divided into three lists grouped accord-

ing to level: Basic, Super, Challenge.Basic contains

common words which, for the most part, present no par-

ticular spelling difficulties and which are conceptually

simple; Super consists of more difficult words, the sorts

of words which children often spell incorrectly, or which

embrace a more complex concept; and finally Challenge

a ‘higher’ level list offering words which are more compli-

cated both in structure and meaning.The level of difficul-

ty may not always be comparable between subjects. For

instance, the Challenge list for Water includes words like

dehydration whereas that for About Me contains less

adventurous words such as cousin.

You will also find that some words appear on more than

one list. For instance, the word ‘green’ is in the topic lists

Colour and The Park.

To enter the word lists, the child must press .This

will take them into the topic list.The topics are listed

alphabetically. So, if the child presses a letter key, then

all the lists beginning with that letter will be shown. For

instance, under the letter ‘p’, they will find themes such

as Persuasion, Pirates and Smugglers, Poetry, Popstars

and Showbiz, Prehistoric Animals etc. If the child enters

the first two letters, such as 'pr', all the words starting

with ‘pr’ such as Prehistoric Animals and Professions will

come up.

You will see there is a poster showing all the lists in

alphabetical order.You can display this on the wall and

make individual copies for children to help them when

choosing which list they need.

Most of the words in the wordlists are linked to Oxford

University Press’ Primary Dictionary and are backed up

by dictionary definitions. However, about 20% of the

words — names of countries, seas and rivers, specific

animal groups such as dinosaurs — do not have a dic-

tionary definition. However, we felt it was still important

that children had access to these words.

All lists, of course, have their limitations.These are not

intended to be comprehensive in any sense, nor do they

attempt to suggest the best or most appropriate or even

the most interesting words to use when writing about a

particular subject.They are meant as props for each

child to use or reject according to their needs at that

moment.The teacher will know when these props are

helpful, when they lead on to an exploration of other

words and when they give a young writer confidence.

They will also be aware of the moment at which such

props can be restrictive, when the child has used them

and moved beyond them into a wider field.Then the list

will remain important simply as a reference point. Most

of us, when we go shopping, make a list and then ignore

it, filling our trolleys with impulse buys and then, just

before the cashpoint, check to see what essentials we

may have left out.The list does not save us from the

impulse buys, and nor should these word lists restrict

the pupil’s flights of fancy.

WAYS OF WORKING WITH THE WORDLISTS

One of the advantages of presenting children with lists

of words is to give them a focus and an opportunity to

talk among themselves about their writing. Using the

lists, the children can work together, discussing their

choice of words both with each other and with the

teacher. Making up sentences can be a rewarding social

activity, particularly for young children or for those who

lack the confidence to get their ideas out onto the page.

Teachers may also want to involve the parents in helping

their children to use the lists and to develop their ideas.

Encouraging pupils to take a machine home and demon-

strate it to their parents could be both an enjoyable and

a useful exercise for many of them.

Although some of the lists fall into a specific curriculum

area, many of them can be used across the school sub-

jects.They are intended for use in all the Key Stage 2

curriculum areas and can often be used as a way of link-

ing subjects together. Quite apart from subjects like

English, geography and history where they may be most

obviously useful, they can provide the basis for some

interesting study of the way English words relate to other

modern languages. Children are often fascinated by the

ways in which words are built up, how they relate to

each other and how apparently different words have sim-

ilar stems or Latin derivations. Although the lists have

not been devised for this particular purpose, they may

give teachers a starting point for this sort of class dis-

cussion or study.

The National Curriculum requires that pupils’ vocabular-

ies be extended through activities that encourage their

interest in words, including exploration of word games.

All the word games traditionally used in the classroom or

on long car journeys will be enlivened by these readily

accessible banks of words.Teachers will have their own

ideas about which games work best with their pupils.

Some will use board games such as scrabble; others will

use word cards with the more hesitant readers to play

dominoes or to set up a game of ‘word bingo’. In this

each child has, say, ten words and the teacher reads out

words from an identical list.The pupil has to recognise

the word and turn it over.The first one to turn over all

the words and read them out to the teacher wins.There

are also all sorts of pattern games in which single words

are strung together (with the last letter of one making

the first letter of the next) into a pattern.There are ver-

sions of the time-honoured game of ‘hangman’ or there

is pelmanism with pairs of word cards.There are also, of

course, all sorts of ways of playing with people’s initials.

All these word games help to develop children’s confi-

dence in language because they begin to feel that they

have power over words.

Pupils who find spelling a bit of a mystery will be helped

by having words on a particular subject grouped in this

way.They may also find the arrangement into three dif-

ferent levels of difficulty sets them a useful target – or at

least stimulates a bit of competitive endeavour! They can

enjoy making up spelling tricks by which to remember

the more difficult words and then swapping them with

each other. It is important that they can return to the

words that they have learnt to spell and know where to

find them.The fact that they are here,offered in clear

and manageable lists,is reassuring to those children, for

whom words seem to move around in a sort of impene-

trable jungle, setting unexpected traps for the unwary

traveller. It is hoped that these lists will provide paths

through that jungle, offering those who use them the

confidence to enjoy further exploration.
