Looking for a meaningful way to build students’ vocabulary and improve their writing?
These Vocabulary Building Challenge Sheets are designed to help students move beyond basic word choices and confidently apply new vocabulary in their writing.
This resource includes targeted vocabulary practice pages followed by a final narrative writing task where students must apply the words they have learned in context. It is ideal for explicit vocabulary instruction, writing improvement, and NAPLAN-style preparation.
What’s Included:
✔ Vocabulary building challenge sheets with themed word categories
✔ Sentence writing tasks that require students to use new vocabulary accurately
✔ A vocabulary tracker page where students record new words and student-friendly definitions
✔ A final narrative writing task that acts as a practice or assessment piece
✔ Clear instructions suitable for independent work or guided instruction
How This Resource Can Be Used:
- Literacy centres or small group rotations
- Whole-class vocabulary lessons
- Writing warm-ups or fast finisher tasks
- Vocabulary intervention or extension
- Preparation for NAPLAN-style writing and language skills
The vocabulary tracker encourages students to actively collect and record new words from the challenge sheets, classroom learning, and independent reading. This tracker then becomes a reference tool students can revisit during future writing tasks, supporting long-term vocabulary growth.

- Expanded Tier 2 vocabulary
- Improved word choice in writing
- Sentence construction and fluency
