Vocabulary in IB PYP Grade 5 Language
In IB PYP Grade 5 Language, Vocabulary gives capable learners (ages 10–11) the chance to practise subject-specific academic vocabulary and nuanced and precise word choice.
PYP learning is inquiry-based: children explore ideas through questions, play and real-life examples, so worksheets and games here are designed to be short, clear and encouraging.
What learners practise
- Subject-specific academic vocabulary
- Nuanced and precise word choice
For students
Work through the worksheets and interactive activities at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.
For parents
Sit with your child for the first few questions and ask “how do you know?”. Praise effort and keep sessions short.
For teachers
Use vocabulary activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.
Read a little every day and talk about what you read. Retelling a story or an argument in your own words builds comprehension and vocabulary.
Quick answers
Who is the Vocabulary page for?

Are vocabulary resources free?
Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.
How should I use these resources?
Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
