For students with little or no English, Wordshark is particularly useful for introducing Everyday Vocabulary, one of the 6 courses in Wordshark.
Word lists are grouped under headings such as colours, clothes, food etc. See image right for a summary of what’s included. Or, click below to see the full course.

Granting ‘Free Play’ (i.e. access to this course), will enable students to explore useful vocabulary illustrated with photos.

There is a host of games to reinforce the words including sentence games which put the words into context.
- The words are split into their phonic parts, and the same for syllables – together illustrating how English words are constructed
- The games practise different aspects of learning vocabulary
- There is a facility to add your own lists, and pictures and recordings Click the button below to find out more:
I find that Wordshark offers a good way to extend vocabulary for children coming in with no English.
