Grade 3 Spelling Worksheet

A synonym means almost the same as another word, such as large and big, and an antonym means the opposite, such as hot and cold. Related words also differ in strength: warm, hot and boiling all describe heat, and boiling shows the most. This topic has all three skills, and each worksheet practices one: versions 1 and 4 are synonyms, versions 2 and 5 are antonyms, and versions 3 and 6 are shades of meaning, where your child circles the strongest of three related words.
Building Confidence uses everyday words, On Level adds less common ones, and Challenge Me uses words such as sluggish, generous and frigid. Ask your child to use the new word in a sentence of their own.
Common Core standard: L.3.5.C
Large means almost the same as big, so large is its synonym; small means the opposite, so small is its antonym. Of warm, hot and boiling, boiling shows the most heat.
