About Synonyms & Antonyms
A wide vocabulary helps children understand what they read and makes their writing more interesting. Swapping “big” for “enormous” or “said” for “shouted” brings writing to life.
Mixed mode is a great challenge because kids must read the question carefully to know if they need the same or the opposite meaning.
