Seventh Grade Vocabulary Word List

This seventh grade vocabulary list was built from an analysis of difficult words that appear in
basal readers and other books commonly taught in the 7th grade. Those words were then
analyzed to see how often they appeared on English Language Arts state tests given in the
seventh, eighth and ninth grades. This vocabulary word list is free and printable, but is also
available through our systematic vocabulary development program, The Word Up Project,
which has been proven to raise scores. You can also view the word lists of the other levels of
The Word Up Project.
