School Vocabulary

A back to school collage with two schoolchildren surrounded by many different school supplies

This school vocabulary will be very helpful if you're still in school, have kids or work in an office. I have included a lot of school supplies in the list.

Listen to the video to hear the correct pronunciation -- in American English -- and practice saying the word out loud during the pauses after each word. It will help your pronunciation and help you remember the word.

Your turn to practice school vocabulary

Are you currently studying at school? What supplies do you carry in your book bag or backpack? What type of writing tool do you like to use? Do you wear a uniform. If you're no longer in school what did you used to wear to school and carry with you?

To practice, write your answers to the questions on a separate piece of paper. Or practice speaking out loud to yourself or with a speaking partner. These are excellent ways to help remember this vocabulary.
