The Academic Word Power Pack: Vocabulary for Tests, Essays & Interviews | Grades 9-12 | Common Core-Aligned Academic Vocabulary Practice

This packet groups twenty academic words by where they are used: test passages, essays, interviews, and a set of all-purpose words. For each word, students read the definition and an example, then write a precise sentence of their own. Six fill-in-the-blank items give a quick check at the end. Students can work through one set at a time, in any order.

Aligned to Common Core State Standards (CCSS): L.9-10.6 and L.11-12.6, using academic words correctly in original sentences. Also supports L.9-10.4 and L.11-12.4 (working out unknown words), in part, because every word comes with its definition.

Inside you'll find:

✓ Student practice exercises

✓ Self-check reference card

✓ Progress tracker

✓ Parent answer key

✓ Standards alignment chart

✓ Parent guide

✓ "Now What?" next-step guide
