The Bolded Word

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a learning tool aimed at helping students understand and define unfamiliar words through context and illustration. It presents sentences with bolded words like “voracious” and “foliage,” alongside pictures that depict the meaning of these words. Students are asked to write what they think the bolded word means based on the context of the sentence and the accompanying images. Additionally, there is space provided for students to explain their reasoning behind the meanings they have inferred for the words.

The goal of the worksheet is to develop students’ vocabulary by enhancing their ability to derive the meanings of new words using textual and visual context clues. It encourages analytical thinking by requiring students not only to guess the meaning of the bolded words but also to justify their answers. This activity fosters critical engagement with language, prompting students to actively participate in their own learning process. By interacting with this worksheet, students practice inferring meanings, a vital skill that aids in reading comprehension and language acquisition.
