Vocabulary

Welcome to Albert's Vocabulary course!

This page provides specific content-related information for Albert's Vocabulary course, including how it is organized, how to find questions using standards or tags, and ideas for classroom uses. If you need technical assistance, please visit our Help Center or contact hello@albert.io.

Vocabulary is organized by content themes and further broken down into topics. The Practice Tab offers deep practice for hundreds of commonly-taught Tier Two words, so students can acquire — and retain — the vocabulary they will need to be successful. The course also offers practice for commonly confused words, like “There” versus “Their.” Designed with ELL and emergent readers in mind, Vocabulary utilizes images, audio, and scaffolding to “prime” crucial concepts, introducing new vocabulary to students in an accessible way that sets them up for success.

Each theme contains a range of topics. For example, here are some topics within Commonly Confused Homophones.

In addition to our practice guide, Vocabulary includes diagnostic exams, practice quizzes, and cumulative exams that include questions unique from those on our practice guide. Each section offers 2 exams, one for words with context and one for words without context.

All Albert questions are aligned to state standards relevant to the subject matter. Albert’s Vocabulary questions are aligned to Common Core Standards for English Language Arts. 

This standards-alignment provides another easy way to find useful questions besides the Theme and Topic organization. Using the Standards button at the top left corner of any subject page, you can filter for just your state’s standard set then simply search for your state’s standards to find all questions in our course library aligned to that standard! For more details, please see this article in our Help section.

In addition to searching by the standards’ names, you can also search by their content! Simply type in a few words from the standard description to see all relevant standards pertaining to that content.

Vocabulary uses a variety of question types to test students’ understanding of content and provide meaningful practice of important skills
