Academic Vocabulary Companion
Vocabulary Tools by Teach BIG
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Every academic word, fully unpacked—student-friendly definitions, examples, sentence frames, misconceptions, rigor levels, and ready-to-use activities. Free sample inside
Give your students the academic vocabulary they need to read, write, and think like scholars—all in one teacher-friendly app.
Behind every academic word is a complete, classroom-ready report: a student-friendly definition, real examples, sentence frames, the misconceptions to watch for, rigor levels, and ready-to-use activities. Everything you need to teach the word well—not just define it.
Try it free: the full report for the word EXPLAIN is included at no cost, so you can see exactly what every word report looks like before you subscribe.
Two simple levels:
- Level 1 — Academic ELAR: the 200 most-used academic language-arts words, plus 40 crossover words that show up across every content area.
- Level 2 — All Academic Content Areas: everything in Level 1 plus social studies, science, and math—200 words in each of the four content areas (800 specialized words) and the 40 crossover words, each with word origins, etymology, discussion questions, and how to use it in the classroom.
Built for teachers, academic coaches, and homeschooling families:
- Every word includes a definition, examples, sentence frames, misconceptions, rigor levels, and activities.
- Search any word in seconds.
- Focused on the academic words that appear in your standards and daily instruction.
Perfect for ELAR, social studies, science, and math—give your students the language of school with confidence.
