Synonyms
There are many reasons to help your child with synonyms. It will help them with reading and writing. But, what are they? Synonyms are words that have similar meanings, while antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. So, why do you have to use them if you already have a word that explains it? Sometimes we need to repeat what we’ve said and we don’t want to keep using the same word. Also, a synonym is used to explain what a more difficult word means.
