CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to use synonyms to help us understand a text. 

I can find new words in a text. (unknown or interesting)

I can replace the word with a synonym.

I can explain why my word is a synonym.  (put the word back in the sentence and see if it makes sense)

VOCABULARY

A synonym is a word that has the same meaning as another word (or nearly the same meaning). For example, beautiful and attractive are synonyms of each other because they both refer to someone or something that looks good

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Read a library book or dot book at home and find as many words and write down a synonym for that word.
