Introduction The following lists contain the vocabulary items used in each of the four levels of the London Tests of

English for Children. The contents of examination papers, listening tasks and oral test materials will

normally be limited to these items. Items not included in these lists may very occasionally occur in an

examination but candidates will not be required to understand or recognise such items. In other words,

they will not be tested on them. The lists do not include numbers or names of people or countries

which may appear in the examination materials.

The items are listed in alphabetical order. The lists give root words only. That is, they do not include

derived forms such as plurals or inflected verb forms. These should be assumed subject to the

constraints of the language content syllabus for each level. For example, the verb write should be

understood to include the forms write, writes and writing at Firstwords and Springboard and

additionally wrote at Quickmarch and written at Breakthrough.
