G2/3 Reading Skills

It's always difficult when you're reading a book and you come across unfamiliar words.

Today, we practiced reading and guessing unfamiliar words through their context. It was hard work, but good fun, and we managed to learn some new words.



Can you remember the meaning of these words?

  • alternative; the road was blocked, so they had to find an alternative way.
  • assisted; the kind boy assisted the old lady to cross the road.
  • gallant; the gallant knight rode on towards the dark cave where the dragon lived.
  • devoured; Greedy Greg devoured his dinner in less than a minute.
  • detested; Ralph detested his sister's pet rat. 
  • entire; He was able to fit the entire hotdog in his mouth. 
  • concerned; Mary was concerned when her son didn't return from the park on time.
