Dear Students, We at GAiLs Montessori & School are committed to providing you with the best learning resources. To support your English Language studies, we have developed this Difficult Words Programme for Grade 9 students based on the 2025 syllabus from the National Book Foundation (NBF) for the Federal Board. Why This Programme? One of the biggest challenges in English Language is understanding complex vocabulary, especially in Reading and Comprehension sections of Board Exams. The National Book Foundation’s syllabus aims to improve students’ comprehension and analytical skills, but many words can seem unfamiliar, making it harder to understand passages and literary texts. To help students overcome this challenge, GAiLs Montessori & School has carefully compiled a list of difficult words from the Grade 9 English Language Book (2025 syllabus). Each word is provided with meanings in both Urdu and English, allowing students to build a strong vocabulary and improve their ability to understand unseen passages. How Will This Programme Help You? Better Comprehension Skills: Understanding difficult words will help you grasp passages more effectively and analyze texts with confidence. Higher Exam Scores: Since the Federal Board’s English syllabus includes vocabulary-based questions, mastering difficult words will help you score higher in Reading and Comprehension sections. Stronger Vocabulary: Learning new words will help you express yourself clearly in writing and speaking. Improved Preparation for Board Exams: Many students struggle with unseen passages due to unfamiliar vocabulary. This programme will prepare you in advance for such texts. Alignment with National Book Foundation's Syllabus: Since the words are selected directly from the 2025 syllabus, this resource is highly relevant for Board Exam preparation. What Makes This Programme Unique? Words are taken directly from the Grade 9 English Language Book (2025 Federal Board Islamabad syllabus). Meanings are provided in both Urdu and English for better understanding. Focus on words frequently appearing in Board Exam questions. Designed to help students improve step by step. How to Use This Programme? Read the words carefully and understand them in your textbook’s context. Memorize the meanings in both Urdu and English for easy recall. Use the words in sentences to strengthen your understanding. Revise regularly to avoid forgetting words before exams. Test yourself using comprehension passages to see if you recognize and understand the words. Our Commitment to Your Success At GAiLs Montessori & School, we believe in providing high-quality educational resources to help students succeed. Our team of experienced educators has carefully compiled this list, ensuring that it follows the National Book Foundation’s syllabus and meets the Federal Board’s examination pattern. We hope this programme becomes a valuable tool in your exam preparation and helps you develop strong comprehension and vocabulary skills. Our goal is to give students the confidence to handle reading and comprehension challenges effectively. Final Words We encourage all students to make the best use of this resource.
