What this worksheet teaches

• 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'.
• Recognise antonyms formed with prefixes (possible/impossible, agree/disagree).

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 *happy*:
2. Antonym of *big*:

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.
