The Hudson Word Cup is a structured programme of vocabulary expansion for 11-14 year olds. This handbook consists of seven specially-designed short stories in which the 1,000 most common words in English are arranged in the order in which they occur. Reading these stories becomes a highly effective way of boosting vocabulary. It is ideally suited for use in English lessons with whole class groups or with individual students and meets the requirements for Key Stage Three vocabulary as outlined by Cambridge University
