Vocabulary skills for 4th grade
- Antonyms Choose the word · answer key Antonyms are opposites: hot and cold, up and down, open and closed.
- Context Clues Choose the word · answer key The sentence around a hard word usually hides its meaning. Read past the word, find the clue, then decide: The arid desert had not seen rain for months, so arid must mean very dry.
- Greek and Latin Roots Choose the word · answer key Old Greek and Latin word parts hide inside big English words: tele means far, so telescope, telephone, and television all reach across distance.
- Personification and Hyperbole Sorting · answer key Personification gives human actions to things: the wind whispered. Hyperbole exaggerates on purpose: I've told you a million times.
- Prefixes Choose the word · answer key A prefix is glued to the front of a word and changes its meaning: un- flips lock into unlock.
- Similes and Metaphors Sorting · answer key A simile compares with like or as: brave as a lion. A metaphor says one thing IS another: the classroom was a zoo.
- Suffixes Choose the word · answer key A suffix is glued to the end of a word and changes its job: care becomes careful, careless, or carefully.
- Synonyms Choose the word · answer key Synonyms are words that mean almost the same thing: happy and glad, big and large.
