Synonym Search

In this worksheet, students use a thesaurus to find three synonyms for basic adjectives like “big” and “small.” They write each synonym in columns next to the original word. This exercise emphasizes expanding basic vocabulary into richer language. It allows students to see multiple ways of describing a simple concept.

Searching for synonyms improves vocabulary variety and helps students avoid repetitive language in their writing. By consulting a thesaurus, they strengthen research skills and learn to make informed word choices. This activity enhances critical thinking as they select synonyms that closely align with the original meaning. It supports language enrichment, making student writing more engaging and descriptive.
