Mission: Vocabulary - Learn Through Puzzles!
After a resoundingly warm welcome to my first book, Mission Comprehension, I’m delighted to announce the publication of the second in my series of workbooks designed to excite children's learning in key areas.
Mission: Vocabulary is an activity-packed vocabulary adventure helping children build lasting word knowledge from Year 4 to 11+ and SATs. Just like Mission: Comprehension, this book makes learning fun and argument-free. Children work through engaging puzzles that build their vocabulary naturally, without it feeling like 'work'.
Supercharge your child’s - or classroom’s - vocabulary!
This lively, imaginative vocabulary book is far more than a collection of word lists - it’s a full adventure into the world of language. Inside, children will discover curious stories about where words come from, how meanings shift over time, and the surprising ways language connects to myths, science, history and everyday life. Whether they love legendary tales, quirky facts or simply learning something unexpected, there’s plenty here to spark curiosity.
Packed with hundreds of carefully chosen words and a huge variety of activities, this book helps vocabulary come alive. Children will tackle cloze passages, story tasks, creative writing prompts, anagrams, idioms, Greek and Latin roots, crosswords, etymology explorations, odd-one-out challenges, synonym comparisons, word maps, visual meaning tasks and more. Many activities invite them to draw, colour or design, encouraging them to ‘see’ words in fresh, memorable ways.
Perfect for SATs, 11+ preparation or simply nurturing a love of language, this multi-sensory, research-informed approach builds strong memory, boosts comprehension, and turns tricky vocabulary into an exciting exploration. With progressive challenge levels and QR-linked video guidance, the book supports learners from Year 4 right through to confident 11+ candidates.
A fun, flexible and powerful toolkit for building vocabulary that sticks - and a wonderful way to help children become confident, curious word-users.
Now available for purchase through Amazon.
