Why get the bundle
- A bundle gives children the same pairs in clip cards, flash cards and task cards, which builds a larger stock of words.
The problem
Big, large, huge: why do we need all of them?
Children have a small stock of go-to words. Learning a second word with the same meaning is the first step toward richer writing.
One word per idea
Kids use 'big' for everything. Alternatives like large aren't part of their working vocabulary.
Nearly-the-same words
'Quick' sits next to 'large' in the choices, but doesn't mean the same as big. Careful reading is needed.
Mixing up with antonyms
Synonyms and antonyms get confused. Children need to ask if the words mean the same or opposite.
Each card shows a word and several choices, and the child picks the one with the same meaning, so pairs like small and little become familiar.

Questions
Before you buy.
Are these words hard to read?
No. They are common words like big, small and happy with simple matches, so the focus is meaning.
Is there an assessment?
Cards and a Google Slides deck are included, both with answer keys. This topic does not have a separate assessment.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 13 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
