Synonyms, Antonyms, Homonyms

Having a clear understanding of synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms can help children communicate more effectively in speaking and in writing.  Nobody wants to read or hear a story that repeats the same word over and over.  In case you need a quick review, synonyms are words that mean the same thing (pretty/beautiful), antonyms are words that are opposites (sit/stand), and homonyms are words that are spelled and pronounced the same, but have different meanings (pen/pen - one you write with, one you hold an animal in).
