What this worksheet teaches

• 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.
• Use a dictionary entry properly, reading the part of speech and the example sentence, not just the first definition.

How to use this worksheet

Idioms cannot be decoded, only known. When one appears, read it literally and laugh at the picture - 'it's raining cats and dogs' - because the absurd image is what fixes the phrase in memory.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. Synonym of *brilliant*:
2. Antonym of *hot*:

Frequently asked questions

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.

Should my child memorise word lists?

Lists without context fade quickly. Words met in reading and then used in a sentence of their own are retained far better, which is how this sheet is structured.
