Description:

What is Core Vocabulary?

Core vocabulary is a small set of highly flexible words that make up about 80% of daily communication. These words, primarily pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and prepositions, can be used across topics, environments, and communication partners.

Access to core vocabulary empowers learners to:

Express needs, wants, and original thoughts
Share information and make comments
Ask and answer questions
Build flexible, independent communication over time
