Bolded Words

Worksheet Description

This Synonyms worksheet contains a series of sentences with bolded words that students are asked to match with a synonym in a following sentence. Each pair of sentences is designed to convey the same meaning, but students must complete the second sentence by writing in a synonym of the bolded word from the first sentence. A word bank at the bottom of the page provides a list of words that can be used to fill in the blanks. The exercise is structured to enhance the students’ understanding of synonyms by applying them in a contextual setting.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students to recognize and use synonyms to express similar ideas in different ways. By finding equivalent words to fill in the blanks, students practice vocabulary substitution, which is a valuable skill for varied and rich expression in both spoken and written language. This activity helps to broaden their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of word relationships and nuances. Additionally, it enhances their ability to read and comprehend texts that use diverse vocabulary by familiarizing them with synonyms.
