What this worksheet teaches

• 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.
• Work out an unfamiliar word's meaning from the surrounding sentence before reaching for a dictionary.
• Use synonyms with attention to strength - 'furious' is not simply a longer 'angry'.

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 *lazy*:
2. Antonym of *open*:

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
