Bedrock Vocabulary introduces students to high frequency words for mature language users, and in turn helps to develop literacy and comprehension skills. By regularly using Bedrock Vocabulary, our students are simultaneously improving their reading and writing skills, allowing them to progress further in not only their English lessons, but other subjects in the national curriculum too.
Each student in year 7 to 9 will have been set Bedrock homework by their English teacher, with classes being set different quantities of lessons to complete each week. Students have log in details stuck into the front of their planner and can access the app using the link below: https://app.bedrocklearning.org/
In addition please see the parents guide to using Bedrock information document.
