What does this worksheet teach?

A short note at the top says Veterans Day is on November 11 and began as Armistice Day, after the fighting in World War I stopped in 1918. Below it are 15 scrambled words about Veterans Day, such as veteran, armistice, military, poppy, salute and courage, for children to unscramble and write on the lines. The directions on the page read: Unscramble the letters and write the word on the line. An answer key is included.
Can I use this academic vocabulary worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 4th Grade academic vocabulary, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
What is academic vocabulary?
⌄
Academic vocabulary is the set of words used across school subjects, like explain, identify, evidence and estimate. These words tell students what kind of thinking to do, so a child who misreads summarize as describe can answer a question incorrectly even when they understood the text.
Why does academic vocabulary matter in 4th grade?
⌄
4th grade texts move into science and social studies content, and test questions use more formal directions. CCSS L.4.6 asks students to use general academic and subject-specific words accurately.
How can I help my child learn these words?
⌄
Use them at home. Ask your child to predict what happens next in a show, or to compare two snacks. The worksheet words stick when they hear them outside school.
Is there an answer key for each worksheet?
⌄
Yes. All five academic vocabulary sheets have an answer key.
