About KS1 Vocabulary Age 6
By age 6, children are ready to explore a wider range of vocabulary. These KS1 Vocabulary quizzes focus on adjectives, nouns, and verbs, encouraging pupils to use language in creative and precise ways.
Learners practise describing with Adjectives Age 6 (Excellent & Proper) and Adjectives Age 6 (Formal & Famous). They strengthen naming skills in Nouns Age 6 (Explanation & Construction) and action words in Verbs Age 6 (Search & Sleep).
These quizzes help children notice that some words carry multiple meanings, building problem-solving skills and deepening understanding of context in reading and writing.
See the official Government guidance: English programmes of study: key stages 1 and 2.
Frequently Asked Questions

How do these quizzes support school learning?
The quizzes match the KS1 English curriculum, reinforcing what children learn in class while making practice fun and interactive at home.
