What this worksheet teaches
- Choose precise verbs and nouns in place of vague ones in their own writing.
- Understand and use common Greek and Latin roots across subjects.
- Interpret similes, metaphors and personification in what they read.
- Use a thesaurus critically, checking the replacement actually fits the sentence.
How to use this worksheet
When a root appears, ask your child for two other words that share it. Building small word families is what makes vocabulary work compound rather than accumulate one word at a time.
Sample questions from this worksheet

Frequently asked questions
Are roots worth the effort at this age?
Very much. Knowing a handful of roots gives access to hundreds of secondary-school science and history words without separate teaching.
How do I know the vocabulary is really learned?
When the word turns up unprompted in your child's own speech or writing a week later. Recognition on a sheet is a weaker signal than spontaneous use.
My child's writing sounds forced since using a thesaurus. Why?
Because synonyms carry different tone and formality. The fix is not fewer words but the read-aloud test, which catches unnatural substitutions immediately.
