Word Relationships Worksheets for 6th to 8th Grade

What your child practices

These 6 worksheets for 6th to 8th grade (Grades 6 to 8 in Canada) focus on Word Relationships, with 59 questions that build the skill step by step. Middle school writing is judged on clarity and precision, and practicing Word Relationships directly helps your child revise their own essays and reports. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. Each sheet supports Common Core L.6.5b, covering word relationships, shades of meaning and figurative language. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 6. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Short on time? Start with the Word Relationships video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Ask your child to spot the skill in their own recent writing and revise one paragraph.
• Turn a mistake into a mini lesson: fix it together and write one new example.
• Have your child find one example of Word Relationships in a book you are already reading together.
