Differentiate Your Vocabulary Lessons with Ease

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your vocabulary lessons.

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through guided reading groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

For students who need additional support, allow for the use of a synonyms anchor chart or thesaurus during the activity.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

For students needing a challenge, edit the synonyms used in the activity and provide more advanced synonym pairs for them to interact with.

🧑‍🏫 Group Learning

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
