About this skill
Synonyms make writing more interesting. Encourage children to swap an overused word like 'big' for 'enormous' or 'huge'.
How to teach it
- Use each new word in a sentence out loud.
- Revisit words over several days — spaced practice beats cramming.
- Link new words to ones the child already knows.
Mistakes to watch for
- Memorising definitions without using the word in a sentence.
