This Grade 3 hard worksheet uses multiple choice and fill in the blank questions to challenge students. Children pick words that are both synonyms for one word and antonyms for another, like joyful, and judge shades of meaning to choose the strongest synonym for big or said. Fill in the blank items ask for words like freezing, enormous, whispered, end, and speedy. The sheet builds careful thinking about word relationships.
