We have added several new worksheets to our grade 5 vocabulary page. The worksheets cover prefix, affixes, homographs, idioms, proverbs, similes and metaphors.
Here’s an overview of our new worksheets:
Prefix and suffix words
Students practice prefix and suffix words appropriate for grade 5 in these two sets of worksheets.
Define the words
Students are provided with a prefix or suffix and have to write three words using that affix. They are then asked to use their understanding of the affix to write the meanings of each of those three words.
Dissect the words
In these worksheets, students are given an affix and a root word and asked to combine them. Then they need to write the meanings of the affix, the root word and the new word.
Homographs
There are two sets of worksheets to practice homographs.
Select the homograph
These worksheets provide sentences with homograph words. Students are asked to select the correct meaning of the homograph word using context clues.
Homograph definitions
Each homograph has two definitions in these worksheets. Students are asked to draw lines from the homograph word to its two definitions.
Similes and metaphors
These worksheets contain simile and metaphor sentences. Students have to determine if the sentence is a simile or a metaphor.
Metaphors
These worksheets ask for an explanation of each metaphor.
Proverbs or idioms
Similar to the similes and metaphor worksheets, students have to mark each sentence as a proverb or an idiom.
Proverbs
Students are given a word bank and have to fill the proverb sentences with the missing words.
