Six pages about shades of meaning. Pages 1 and 5 put three words in order from less to more, page 2 asks which of two words means more, page 3 shows one animal at three sizes to match tiny, big and huge, and pages 4 and 6 ask which of two close words fits a sentence best.
Line up three children and give each a word, whisper, talk and shout; the class puts them in order and says each one aloud. Then ask why gobble fits a hungry dog better than nibble.
Use stronger words together: "Was it warm or hot?" "Did you walk or run?" Let your child find a stronger word for a word you say.
Word pages about words close in meaning: tiny, small, big and huge; whisper, talk and shout; nibble, eat and gobble. Children put words in order from less to more, circle the stronger word, circle the picture that shows a size, and pick the word that fits a sentence best.
