Want to try my English Daily Reviews before you buy the full set? This is one complete free week: Week 1 of Set 4, Vocabulary & Word Meaning, teaching synonyms and register.
Each set takes one skill a week and builds it across the week, a little more independent each day. The same calm routine runs Monday to Friday, so students spend their thinking on the skill, not on working out what a new worksheet is asking.
Your free week, Monday to Thursday:
- Monday: synonyms and register are taught explicitly, with worked examples, then the class practises together.
- Tuesday: a quick recap and guided practice, then students begin on their own.
- Wednesday: independent practice.
- Thursday: students apply the skill to a topic from your current science or HASS unit.
Each item gives a word, a clue (formal or informal) and a sentence with a gap. Students choose the synonym that suits the sentence (kids or children? commence or start?), then write their own sentence using the new word.
Also included:
- Answers at the back, with every answer shown in blue, so marking takes seconds.
- Project it on the board (students work in their notebooks) or print it. It’s your choice.
- Mapped to the Australian Curriculum v9, with the exact codes shown inside.
