Q:

My son is entering middle school. He reads a lot and seems to have a good vocabulary. Nevertheless, I'm wondering if this is really true. Do you know of any lists of words that will let me check out his vocabulary? -- Word Conscious

A:

One list that you might look at is "100 Words Every Middle Schooler Should Know." This list was taken from some of the books most often read in middle-school English classes and lists of favorite books of children in grades six through eight. They are the words your son is likely to see time and time again from now on.
