We’re pleased to tell you we have completed the grade 2 and 5 vocabulary workbooks, completing the whole set of vocabulary workbooks for grades 1 to 5.
New vocabulary workbooks
In our workbooks, vocabulary words are practiced in groups of ten words in a lesson of separate worksheets. Each lesson starts with a word list of definitions for each word. Following are four worksheets that focus on practicing the understanding of those words through contextual work.
Review of a vocabulary lesson for grade 5 students
Let’s take a look at one of the lessons from our grade 5 workbook to give you an idea of what the exercises look like.
Word list
It starts with the word list and their definitions – presented in a dictionary style.
Following are 4 worksheets of exercises. They vary from lesson to lesson. Here’s what the exercises for lesson 18 look like:
Just the right word
In the first exercise, students use the word list as reference to replace words in sentences with more appropriate words. This exercise helps students think about words with similar meanings in understanding the meaning of a vocabulary word.
Antonyms
The next exercise has students think about vocabulary words in the context of words with the opposite meaning – antonyms.
Context clues
In this exercise, students use cross-sentence clues to work out the meaning of a word. Students are asked to write the clues that lead them to work out the definition.
Paragraph
The last exercise for this lesson is a short story with missing vocabulary words. Students are asked to fill in the missing words to complete the story, using the word list as a reference.
Answer sheet
After each lesson an answer sheet is provided.
