This 6th grade vocabulary worksheet matches the first set of 10 words (abstract, acknowledge, allocate, ambiguous, assert, bias, coherent, concise, context, contradict) to clear definitions. Your child writes the letter of each definition next to its word; the answer key lists every match.

These are the words teachers use in assignments (write a concise, coherent paragraph; use context to infer), so knowing them helps with every subject. Follow up with fill-in-the-blank for any misses, and change Word set for the other 30 words.

Tips for using it

  • Ask where your child has seen each word in schoolwork.
  • Match the easiest words first, then use elimination.
