Frequently asked questions

Should we use a dictionary?

A children's picture dictionary is helpful, but try guessing from the sentence first - that guessing skill is one of the objectives here.

My child mixes up synonyms and antonyms. Any tip?

Anchor the words themselves: antonym starts with 'anti', which means against, so it is the opposite. Most children stop swapping them once that link sticks.

Are spellings tested too?

Spelling of the new words is practised but the focus is meaning and use. Getting the meaning right with an imperfect spelling is still a good answer at Grade 2.
