Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Precise word choice means replacing a vague word with the one that fits the exact meaning. There are 7 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Each sheet gives a bank of 12 to 14 words and sentences full of clues, so students choose between close words. Precise Verbs for Thought and Felt follows a student after an audition, Precise Verbs for Went Up and Went Down uses numbers from reports, and Replace Weak Verb and Adverb Pairs works through a wildlife film script.
