Improve Vocabulary Worksheets: Replace the word get (Age 7-11) - Teacher Notes

The "Improve Vocabulary Worksheets" designed for children aged 7-11, offer an engaging and effective way to enhance their word choice in writing. The first activity titled 'Zoggy’s First Visitor' prompts the young reader to elevate their language by substituting simple words with more sophisticated alternatives, thereby making the text more captivating. After rewriting the passage, children can test their understanding and retention of the new vocabulary through a quiz.

The second activity, 'Choose Better Words For ‘Get’', presents a two-page exercise aimed at broadening the children's vocabulary by providing them with a variety of alternatives to the commonly overused word 'get'. After reviewing lists of suggested words, the pupils are encouraged to fill in a chart to reinforce their memory of the new terms. These innovative 'Breakthrough In Vocabulary Work Packs' not only instruct but also inspire children to avoid mundane language, steering them towards more impressive word choices. Zoggy, the friendly extraterrestrial from the planet Zen, guides students through the activities with entertaining stories of his experiences on Earth. Completing these exercises will not only expand the child's vocabulary but also empower them to infuse their own writing with more engaging and varied language.
