Ten printable study sheets covering the 1,000 most common English words, 100 words per sheet, each with IPA pronunciation, a simple English definition and an example sentence.

How to use: students fold the sheet along the dashed line (or cover the definitions with a strip of paper), recall each word and tick a box every time they remember it straight away. Then they cover the words and recall them from the definitions.

Recall test: each sheet ends with a test. Students write the word for each definition; the number next to the line shows where the answer is in the list, so learners can check their own work.
