Basic German Vocabulary for Elementary School – Why is it so important?

The basic vocabulary for elementary school enables children to express themselves clearly and confidently and contributes to the promotion and consolidation of spelling competence in elementary school. Thus, vocabulary training in elementary school contributes to communication culture and is a basic prerequisite for successful school and professional life. Regular and varied practice is particularly essential, especially for students whose family language is not German. Only in this way is it possible to develop confidence in the basic German vocabulary! For example, elementary school reading games can be an excellent way to expand vocabulary.

The goal is for children to learn and master the basic German vocabulary. The basic vocabulary should be the starting point for promoting the individual vocabulary of the children and supporting them in developing their own sense of language. Therefore, vocabulary in elementary school is used as a starting point for further linguistic development.

The basic vocabulary can be perfectly integrated into German lessons. Words that belong to the basic German vocabulary are particularly suitable for learning to read and write, as they are important words that children frequently encounter in everyday life and language and need for writing anyway. While in grades 1 and 2, initial spelling strategies, dealing with mnemonic spellings, and rule-based formation of unknown words are introduced, the focus in grades 3 & 4 is on the application and automated retrieval of this content.

With child-friendly and creative games for basic vocabulary in elementary school and at home, vocabulary training is really fun! They train and consolidate the basic vocabulary and promote creativity. An effective method is also learning with a flashcard box.

Advantages of basic vocabulary in elementary school

  • The basic vocabulary enables children's oral and written expression
  • The vocabulary in elementary school can be used as a basis for the development of individual vocabulary
  • The basic German vocabulary promotes the spelling and sense of language of the kids
