This Reception Vocabulary Progression Document provides a clear, structured overview of vocabulary development across all areas of the EYFS, mapped out across the full academic year.
Vocabulary is carefully sequenced term-by-term, ensuring children are exposed to and build upon key language in Communication and Language, PSED, Physical Development, Literacy, Maths, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design. This supports a language-rich curriculum where vocabulary is explicitly taught, revisited and embedded across continuous provision and adult-led learning.
The document is ideal for supporting Ofsted expectations, clearly demonstrating intentional curriculum design, progression and a strong focus on language development. It is also a valuable tool for EYFS Leads, providing clear evidence of how vocabulary is planned, taught and built over time across the setting.
