Building Your Vocabulary with the Vault

What Is the Vocabulary Vault?

The Vault is your personal word-collection hub. Every word or sentence you save while reading lands here, organised into named lists you create. It is the bridge between encountering a word and owning it: you meet a word in the Reader, save it with one tap, and it waits in the Vault until you are ready to turn it into a worksheet or a revision session.

The whole loop is three steps — save while you read, organise into lists, generate a worksheet — and the sections below walk through each one.

Creating and Managing Lists

1. Sign in — the Vault requires a free Verbault account.
2. Click the Vault tab in the main navigation.
3. Press New list and give it a name (e.g. "Chapter 5 words" or "IELTS Academic Wordlist").
4. The list appears in your sidebar; you can have up to 50 lists with 5,000 items each.

Saving Words While Reading

While in the Reader, tap any word and press Add to Vault in the popup. Choose which list to add it to, or create a new one on the spot. The word is saved with:

• Its definition (from WordNet or Wiktionary).
• The source sentence (for context).
• The reading level.

Saving Sentence Bookmarks

The Bookmarks feature lets you save entire sentences, not just individual words. Bookmarked sentences appear in their own Vault section and can be combined with word lists when generating worksheets.

From Vault to Worksheet

Once a list has at least 50 words you can click Generate worksheet directly from the Vault page. This bypasses the Reader entirely — useful for revision sessions using pre-built lists, or for a teacher turning a class's shared word list into a printable quiz. Pick the worksheet types you want and a PDF downloads with a matching answer key, exactly as it would from the Reader.

Visit /word/perseverance for an example of a word worth adding to your list — its page shows the reading-level badge, definitions, and a semantic network of related words you can explore before you even open a book:

You can also explore Pride and Prejudice for rich vocabulary in context, then save the words that stop you straight into a list.
