You may have noticed that we have updated our vocabulary worksheets sections for grades 1 – 5 with more variety of exercises. To complement those exercises, we are also creating vocabulary workbooks for further practice. Our grade 3 vocabulary and grade 4 vocabulary workbooks were published late last year. Our latest addition is the grade 1 vocabulary workbook.

New grade 1 vocabulary workbook

Like our other vocabulary workbooks, every lesson starts with a word list and definitions. Following are four exercises to practice the words. Those exercises include identifying words by pictures, selecting definitions of words by multiple choice, synonym and antonym exercises, crosswords, matching sentences to pictures, context clues, completing sentences with words from a word bank, among others.

There are 30 lessons in total. Each lesson covers 10 vocabulary words.

It starts with a list of words and definitions – presented in a dictionary style. This will save you time from flipping through a dictionary.

When your kids struggle with their math, it’s time to take a step back and take a deep breath. They need to slow down and take their time. Here’s a step by step guide that will help your kids get through those tough math problems.

We’ll use a grade 3 addition word problem as an example to clarify:

Pinky the Pig bought 36 apples while Danny the Duck bought 73 apples and 14 bananas. How many apples do they have altogether?

Read the problem

Carefully read through the problem to make sure you understand what is being asked.

Pinky the pig and Danny the duck bought apples and bananas. The question is how many apples they have together.
