This article is part of a series. It starts with a summary of the 100 most important multiple meaning words elementary school students should learn. Following will be a grade by grade set of Flashcards for those multiple meaning words.
The next 10 multiple meaning words we have created flashcards for are:
hide – hit – jam – last – left – lie – mean – miss – nail – over
Some of these words are really tough as they have so many meanings. Take ‘over’, for example. There are an astounding 18 meanings:
- above in position; higher than
- across to the other side of
- on top of, so as to cover
- throughout; across
- in the time of; during
- on the subject of
- across a space
- so as to cover
- to this or that place
- to the side
- across the edge of and down
- about; concerning
- once again; again
- down and to the side; down
- more than
- finished; done
- a prefix that means "too much”
- a prefix that means "above," "across," or "superior”
No wonder our kids struggle to put some of these words in context. So let’s practice. Here’s the full list of flashcards.
In the next blog posts we’ll continue to provide Flashcards that you can print out and practice with your kids.
