Description

Don’t let adding descriptive words, like better word choice synonyms, in narrative, expository, and informational compositions be tricky for your students! This skill can become MUCH easier for them with these Synonym Charts that include 40 commonly used words. Students will quickly begin writing more descriptively by placing these interesting words right at their fingertips! Let “said” truly be “dead” this time! 

Revising will be much simpler for your students when they use these charts for stronger word choice and creating vivid writing for their audience to read! PLUS, these charts give confidence to those struggling writers who just can’t think of the right word! They can also use the included thesaurus booklet to increase depth and creativity in their vocabulary and word selection when writing. They can even personalize this booklet by adding other words they use or have found!

  • 40 Commonly Used Words- Mini Size 
  • 40 Commonly Used Words- Full Size

Foster their vocabulary growth, writing quality, and language development all while helping your students become more proficient writers! Charts come in a size perfect for student notebooks (can fit 4 to a page) or to place on a binder ring! They can also be used in the standard paper size for classroom/small group display! Printing the Thesaurus Booklet is also a wonderful option for students to have their own Thesaurus on them at all times.

TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dana B. says, "This resource is perfect for small groups when we work on stretching our words and creating mind pictures in writing! Each group was given a smaller booklet that they could utilize whenever needed!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hayley P. says, "These little books are amazing! My 2nd graders love finding words that can spice up their writing and make them sound like bigger kids, they say. Each has one in their ela folder."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jennifer P. says, "I LOVE this resource- students who are tempted to use the same boring words over and over can refer to their own personal resource booklet and find something better to bolster their writing. Best of all, they can do it INDEPENDENTLY! Thank you so much for this resource!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Flippin’ for Fourth Grade Fun says, "My kids loved this resource when we learned about using synonyms within our writing instead of repeating the same word over and over. Once students understood the concept, they enjoyed filling out their own pages which we copied and shared with the class."
