Skill Spotlight: Synonyms & Antonyms

• Subject: English Language Arts (ELA)

• Grade: 2

What is my child learning?

In this game, you are helping your child focus on the meanings of words and how words relate to each other. This is a key part of English language arts instruction in the second half of second grade, and synonyms and antonyms are a particular focus. Learning about the meanings of words and how they relate to each other lays the foundation your child needs for building a strong vocabulary and solid reading comprehension. The stronger a child's vocabulary, the more easily they will understand what they read. Good comprehension is essential for academic success and also for reading enjoyment! 

📅 Coming tomorrow

This week’s activity is called “Grounded.”  It’s an engaging activity that helps children build their knowledge of synonyms and antonyms they’ll use in this year and beyond. Look for it in your text tomorrow!
