How to Create a Custom Word List in Vocab Loco

Creating your own word list lets you tailor lessons for your students and organize vocabulary by grade, theme, or difficulty. Follow the steps below to build your first list in minutes.

Step 1: Go to “Word Lists”

From your Teacher Dashboard, click Word Lists in the left sidebar to open your word list manager.

Step 2: Select “New List”

In the My Custom Word Lists tab, click the + New Group for Lists button to create your first custom list group.
