About this resource
The worksheet asks students to move words from a shared bank into four labelled groups. Discuss unfamiliar meanings first, then let students decide where each adjective fits. Comparing explanations can make the activity useful for vocabulary discussion as well as written sorting.
Curriculum reference — Ontario: Grouping descriptive vocabulary by meaning supports a selected Ontario Grade 2 vocabulary skill. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
