THE IOWA TESTS
Vocabulary
(9th Grade)
Provided by Home Ed (Home Educators of Greater Little Rock)
This is a test of general vocabulary development. The words tested represent a cross section of vocabulary encountered in general communication: reading, writing, and listening. Technical words and specialized vocabulary have not been included. In order to avoid ambiguity and possible misinterpretation, words are presented in the context of short phrases or sentences. The student is asked to choose, from among five alternative words or phrases, the one closes in meaning to the tested word. The context does not provide "clues"; each of the answer choices is plausible within the context provided for the word.
