Educators and parents all agree that reading is one of the best ways
for students to build their vocabulary.

Reading has been addressed by many traditional schools with giving suggested book lists to their students at the end of each school year. Not all schools, though, participate in this practice.

Home-schooled students can use book lists provided by local libraries or from other sources.

VocabularySpellingCity Has Reading Lists and Matching Vocabulary Lists

VocabularySpellingCity has added a list of recommended books for students of all ages that can be used for reading. Corresponding text vocabulary word lists have been included for each book as well.

Using the book vocabulary lists with VocabularySpellingCity word games like MatchIt! or Which Word? can help make reading the books a more enjoyable experience for the students. At the same time, the students can expand their vocabulary and their spelling skills.
