Last week we had been reviewing vocabulary skills that are essential for superb readers. We were practicing breaking apart words to discover the meanings of common prefixes and suffixes. Also, we have been studying synonyms and antonyms as well. Students come across homophone, similes, and idioms daily, which is why these topics have been taught.
One benefit of this exposure is that many students transfer this knowledge into their writings. Their writings have grown so much after learning these vocabulary skills. Way to go boys and girls! I can't wait to read your Narratives as we begin them this week.
What some extra practice on several vocab skills? Below is a link that has MANY games for different vocab skills like idioms, synonyms, and root words. This is wonderful practice!
