Word+Clines

Word-Clines - Vocabulary Activity
This term we will be changing the vocabulary activity for our reading. Rather than record interesting and unknown words we will be using an activity called a Word - Cline to help expand our vocabulary. This not only helps in reading but in our writing too.

A word-cline shows words that have the same meaning but display them on a diagonal line or incline. The most simple or basic words are at the bottom of the word-cline and the most interesting are at the top.

**The best place to find words that have the same meaning is in a THESAURUS**.

Below is an example of a Word-Cline for the word Reinforce.
