Key learning points

Common misconception

Pupils might think these words can be used interchangeably. A 'mesmerising reputation' for example.

Encourage pupils to use the word pairs when they write their sentences.

Keywords

  • Noun - a naming word for people, places or things

  • Adjective - a word that describes a noun

  • Synonym - a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word

  • Word pair - words that often appear together

  • Suffix - a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word

Some of the word pairs' definitions will need to be explained. For example, children might be unfamiliar with 'reputation', 'logic', 'posture' and 'technique'. Ensure they understand the meaning of these words.
