What this worksheet teaches

• Use synonyms with attention to strength - 'furious' is not simply a longer 'angry'.
• Recognise antonyms formed with prefixes (possible/impossible, agree/disagree).
• Tell literal from figurative language in everyday idioms.
• Sort words by shades of meaning, from warm to hot to scalding.

How to use this worksheet

For synonym questions, ask which word is stronger rather than which is correct. Children this age treat synonyms as interchangeable, and grading them by intensity is what makes their writing precise.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Synonym of *silent*:
2. Antonym of *strong*:

Frequently asked questions

My child uses long words wrongly. Is that bad?

It is a normal and encouraging stage - they are reaching. Discussing the shade of meaning, not banning the word, is what turns ambition into accuracy.

How many new words a week is reasonable?

Five to ten used actively in speech or writing beats thirty copied out. Active use is the whole difference.

Do idioms matter for assessments?

Yes - comprehension questions frequently hinge on figurative phrases, and children who read them literally lose marks despite understanding the passage.
