Pupils take a well-rounded approach to the traditional vocabulary chart with this graphic organizer, which prompts students to include a sentence, antonym, definition/synonym, and picture for each vocabulary word.

Youngsters review nouns, adjectives and verbs. In this poetry instructional activity, readers choose a set of antonyms and create a list of synonyms, verbs and adjective for each. Students use the words to write a Diamante poem.

This site provides hands-on Spelling Activities from Houghton Mifflin for grades 1-8. Students can also do a word find. The word find correlates with the Houghton Mifflin Spelling series.
