Read the Word Bank aloud first and have your child say each sentence again with the new word to hear that it still makes sense. On the matching pages, cross off each word once it has a partner. Check with the answer key.

Draw lines to match 8 synonym pairs like big and large or quick and fast, then write a sentence. A synonym is a word that means the same or almost the same as another word, like stone and rock.
