Vocabulary practice
Vocabulary practice students want to finish

- One list, many activities
- Graded and reported

What makes good vocabulary practice?
Students learn a word by meeting it many times in different ways: recognising it, matching it to its meaning, then producing it and spelling it. In Edform you write the words once as a quiz — a definition, picture or translation as the question and the word as the answer — and use that one list everywhere: guess the word, anagram, missing letters, crossword and word search for spelling; match up, memory and bingo for meaning; flashcards to revise together; printable sheets for days without devices. Every online answer is graded, so the report shows which words the class still doesn't know.
