Using Everyday Words Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: L.3.5.B
Having students become comfortable with language is the main goal of any English Language Arts program. Teachers will often tell you this is an extremely difficult task to accomplish. There are a number of words that students use every day, but they truly don't understand the meaning of the word. A word that I often find that even adults do not fully understand is "empathy”. This is your ability not to only understand the feelings and emotional state of another person, but also having the ability to share your own feelings. These worksheets will have students learning to use these tricky words and pushing them vocabularies in the right direction.
