The "Billy and the Minpins—chapters 8 & 9 WORD WORKSHOP" is an educational resource designed to enhance vocabulary skills for KS2 students. This workshop provides a structured approach to understanding the use of various words encountered within the specified chapters of "Billy and the Minpins." Students are encouraged to explore word meanings, construct sentences, modify words through grammatical changes, and identify synonyms and antonyms.

The workshop is methodically segmented into sections for each word, prompting students to engage with the language on multiple levels.
