Using New Words

Aligned to L.3.6 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

What this lesson teaches

Learning new words helps you talk and write clearly. When you meet a useful word, try using it in your own sentences.

Worked example

After learning 'enormous,' you use it: 'The enormous whale swam past our boat,' which sounds stronger than 'big.'

Practice questions

  1. Learn a new word and write it in a sentence.
  2. Replace a plain word with a stronger one you learned.
  3. Use a new topic word when you talk about that subject.

Usar Palabras Nuevas

Aprender palabras nuevas te ayuda a hablar y escribir con claridad. Cuando conozcas una palabra útil, trata de usarla en tus propias oraciones.

Ejemplo: Después de aprender 'enorme', la usas: 'La enorme ballena nadó junto a nuestro bote', que suena más fuerte que 'grande'.
