First students match the 14 synonym pairs.
Reference skills are developed as they use the thesaurus to look
up unfamiliar words. Then they complete the cloze activity that
measures comprehension as it familiarizes students with this common
testing format. They must substitute the synonyms that match word
choices in the box, practicing synonym substitution. Optional bonus
activities are included.
These multilevel sets break down artificial
grade-level barriers. Third graders and high school students may
work in the same level without stigma attached.
