Describe the Difference Between Related Words

Some words are similar to each other but have small differences that can change the tone or meaning of a sentence, such as the words "delayed" and "tardy." In this language and vocabulary worksheet, students will describe the difference between related words to bring to light the different connotations the words carry. This vocabulary-building worksheet is a great way to help sixth and seventh graders use more precise language when writing and editing their own work, think more critically about shades of meaning when reading, and even expand and support speaking and listening skills.
