We have teamed up with Lexonik and invested in their vocabulary package. Lexonik supports subject teaching of vocabulary across the curriculum. It allows us to implement a school wide approach to the teaching of literacy.

The most unique area of Lexonik Vocabulary is the facilitation of the explicit teaching of vocabulary. This lessens teacher variability and ensure sustainability and progress for the whole school.

Words are broken down at the syllable level, to aid reading accuracy, reading fluency and spelling. The subject specific definition is provided but crucially it also identifies the prefix, stem and suffix and then supplies the meanings of each part. This morphemic analysis of the words allows vocabulary to be explicitly taught and promotes, or provides opportunity for, cross curricular learning.
