Are you looking for engaging worksheets to help extend vocabulary through synonyms?
These five differentiated worksheets give practice identifying and using synonyms (words with the same or similar meanings) in a range of ways:
cutting and pasting synonyms into the correct columns
crossing out the word that is not a synonym
replacing an underlined word in a sentence with a more precise synonym
completing a crossword with a synonym for each clue
editing a short passage with more precise synonyms, then writing two new sentences
The worksheets use more challenging vocabulary, such as overjoyed, colossal, sluggish and microscopic. They move from sorting and identifying synonyms to choosing more precise words in context. Possible answers are included for quick marking.
