Therefore, it stands to reason that children with a limited vocabulary will be handicapped in their educational progress. The most obvious effect of an underdeveloped vocabulary will be seen in poor reading comprehension, as children struggle to extract meaning from reading passages. Well-developed vocabulary and reading comprehension skills are central to success with the standardized tests used in most states. In many cases deficient vocabulary puts the student's promotion to a higher grade itself directly at stake. Two very useful ways of vocabulary assessment are reading questions that directly test vocabulary and comprehension questions that require strong vocabulary knowledge. In this paper, let us find whether there is any difference in the ability of vocabulary between private and government VIII std students with reference to kanyakumari district
