This Grade 2 worksheet introduces synonyms as words that mean almost the same thing. Second graders sort familiar pairs like big and large or hot and cold into synonyms and not synonyms, then complete fill-in sentences with easy synonyms such as glad, tiny, and fast. True-or-false questions check the key idea that synonyms share meaning, not spelling, and give second graders confidence with the core definition.
