This week students will continue to discuss and review homophones. Students are also learning about synonyms and antonyms which increases their vocabulary skills. Students will also be learning to infer the meaning of new words. Inferring is a strategy where schema and clues are involved to figure out the meaning.
Homophones: Words spelled differently but pronounced the same and have different meanings
Homonyms: Words spelled the same with different meanings
Synonyms: Words that mean almost the same thing
Antonyms: Opposites
We will use our computer lab time this week to focus on vocabulary and spelling activities. These can be found under "Literacy Websites" to the right.
