Proven Results
We’ve heard from so many homeschool families who are seeing real growth in their student’s vocabulary and confidence. Kids love the format, and parents love how easy it is to implement!
My daughter had a perfect score in vocabulary on her standardized tests this year. I am owing that vocabulary score specifically to your curriculum she used this year!
She loved using it. She thought it was actually fun. It kept her engaged. Her personal vocabulary has exploded in every day usage and it is obviously reflected in those scores – 100%! – Lindsey Stomberg
A strong vocabulary is key to success in reading, writing, and life. With Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary, your student will build a rich vocabulary, gain confidence in their communication, and strengthen their academic foundation—all in just 10–15 minutes a day!
It’s simple. It’s effective. And it works.
How It Works
Each week, your student will learn four new vocabulary words—one word per day, Monday through Thursday. On Friday, they’ll complete a short review to help them remember and apply what they’ve learned.
For each word, your child will:
- Look up and write the definition using a dictionary or glossary
- Use the word in a complete sentence
- List synonyms and antonyms
At the end of every four-week unit, there’s a more in-depth review. This includes a fun writing activity that builds on the words they’ve learned. Younger students (grades 1–3) will write two sentences and draw a picture, while older students (grades 4–12) will write longer responses to reinforce vocabulary and writing skills.
You can adjust the pace too! If you want to go faster, simply do more than one word per day.
What’s Included
- 144 vocabulary words over 36 weeks
- Easy-to-follow, daily lessons
- Weekly reviews
- Unit reviews every four weeks
- Glossary of all vocabulary words
- Printable vocabulary cards
- List of suggested synonyms and antonyms for each vocab word
The glossary provides definitions of all 144 words in the order they’re taught. Your student can use this as a quick reference or practice looking up the words in a dictionary. We recommend the Webster’s For Students Dictionary/Thesaurus set as well as thesaurus.com and dictionary.com.
Synonyms & Antonyms Cheat Sheet
As vocabulary becomes more advanced in Levels 9–12, finding accurate synonyms and antonyms can be challenging. To support students, we’ve included a helpful reference guide with suggested synonyms and antonyms for each word. This optional tool is perfect for checking work, getting unstuck, or deepening understanding—while still encouraging students to think critically and try on their own first.
Vocabulary Cards for Extra Practice
We’ve also included two styles of printable vocabulary cards to help reinforce learning.
- One version includes the word and its definition
- The other version is blank, so your child can write the definition themselves
These cards are great for review games, flashcard practice, or even group work with siblings. You can laminate them for durability and keep them handy throughout the year.
No Teacher’s Guide Needed
Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary is designed to be truly independent. There’s no need for a separate teacher’s guide or complicated instructions. Just hand it to your child and let them get started!
The lessons are short, consistent, and designed to build strong study habits. Your student will not only improve their vocabulary, but also learn how to research, think critically, and express themselves more clearly in writing and conversation.
Add the Spelling Companion
Want to expand the learning? Pair your vocabulary lessons with the Daily Skill Building: Spelling Companion. It aligns with the vocabulary words and offers extra spelling practice using engaging, meaningful activities. It’s a great way to reinforce what your student is already learning.
Daily Skill Building: Vocabulary is available in 12 volumes:

Learning vocabulary is an essential skill even with all the different kinds of spelling checks available. Your child will review daily his vocabulary words created from the spelling portions of this curriculum. Both programs work together well. They reflect back on each other by reinforcing the spelling and vocabulary of the current words learned. This is an open and go program for motivated students. It could be used in a traditional school setting or homeschool setting. I plan on using this with my current 7th grader with the spelling and vocabulary portions together. Learning vocabulary can also help on standardized testing.
I have received this book for free and the opinions expressed above are my own.

The design and layout of the Daily Skill Building Vocabulary Grade 7 Edition is excellent. It is easy for students to use and challenges them to improve their vocabulary. I am a teacher/tutor and use the 7th-grade book with my advanced 6th-grade students.

I had been looking for something like this for a long time, and am so glad I finally found it via Homeschool Giveaways’ website! Thank you for creating such amazing curriculum. It’s simple yet thorough, direct, easy for kids to work on independently, and best of all, doesn’t overwhelm my kids. We love it!

Love, Love, Love this. This is a great way to get your kids to expand their vocabulary, it only takes a few minutes to complete and the kids love to use their new vocabulary words in stories and in general conversation. I am hoping that there will be more levels available at some point so we can continue with this program in grade 8 and 9 and so on.

With only five to ten minutes each day, your seventh grader will build a vocabulary that will serve him well in SAT / ACT / general daily conversation settings! The workbook has a short page covering one word per day – featuring definition, sentence use, synonym, and antonym. The accompanying cards are easily laminated and perfect for pulling out to review periodically. We used the pre-made ones, but there are some where the student writes the definition as well.

I’ve always wondered why spelling curricula didn’t do more vocabulary work!! I have a 15yo student who is dyslexic and who has requested work specifically on vocabulary. This looks great! He could go through it very quickly, and at his own pace, or as is. Probably all 7 levels would be appropriate.
