Find The Definition

Worksheet Description

The Precise Word Meanings worksheet is a vocabulary development tool that tasks students with identifying and understanding the exact meanings of words they encounter in a text. The students are directed to read a designated text and jot down any words they come across that have specific, precise meanings. They are then required to look up each word and record its precise definition in the table provided. This process is designed to encourage active reading and enhance students’ research skills.

The aim of the worksheet is to teach students to pay close attention to the language used in various texts and recognize the importance of understanding precise word meanings. It reinforces the idea that a rich vocabulary is vital for clear and accurate expression and comprehension. The activity also helps students to become familiar with using dictionaries or other reference tools to confirm the meanings of words. By completing this exercise, students are not only expanding their vocabulary but also honing their ability to conduct research and verify information independently.
