Frequently Asked Questions
What vocabulary skills do 5th graders learn?
Fifth graders use context clues to determine word meanings, distinguish shades of meaning among related words, and use correctly the words most often confused, including homophones.
How can I help my child remember homophones?
Attach a memory hook to each spelling: 'their' contains 'heir' (people own things), 'there' contains 'here' (a place). Repeated correct choice in writing seals it.
