Vocabulary changes what children can do.

Words give children more ways to understand ideas, ask questions and make themselves heard in the classroom and beyond.

In a world shaped by AI, the ability to understand sophisticated communication and choose the right words matters more than ever. Exams and assessments are also using more spoken-word assessment as an authentic way to explore what a child really knows.
