Dear Parent/Carer

Help your children with their languages lessons. Help them learn a word a day!

Many parents and carers often ask us what they could do, if wanting to support their

son/daughter’s language learning at home. One path to rapid progress is to learn vocabulary

and to learn it well. Quite simply, the more words a student knows, the better they will

understand the language, the better they will be able to write and speak the language, and the

better they will do in assessments and exams.

This year we are again providing students with a “Word a Day” document for the languages

that they study, please find this document below. We encourage parents and carers to test

students at home on the vocabulary listed for the appropriate week. These words will form

part of what is being covered in lessons and knowing the given words or phrases will help

them to do well. To be particularly effective in the long-term it is important to keep revisiting

the vocabulary sets from earlier in the year, on top of the list for the given week.

Year 11 students will notice that the words given do not necessarily reflect the vocabulary

being studied at that time in class and this is deliberate in order to promote revision of

vocabulary from other topics, hence more thorough preparation for their exams.

If the student manages a word/phrase a day for the 39 weeks of the school year that would

be 273 words learnt, or 1365 over the five years of 7-11. Knowing this many words would have

an extremely positive impact on their progress and it requires learning just one word a day.

We hope your child enjoys and succeeds in their languages lessons this academic year.

Kind regards.

Yours sincerely

Adrian Stipetic

Faculty Leader - MFL
