According to that humdinger of a book called the dictionary, a SYNONYM is a
NOUN : a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.
So...a synonym is a word that means the same thing! Yee Haw! Hot dog! Wow!
Out on the trail, it can get real dull if the same word gets used over, and over, and over, and over, and...well, you get the idea!
This week, the Reading Round-Up! is looking to lasso some super synonyms for words that are just plain tuckered out!
Let's keep our eyes peeled for some synonyms for:
said good bad
A bull's eye example: I declare that it's about time we round-up some superb synonyms, and put those dreadful old words to rest.
Any of you cowpokes who want to make your comment Ace high, put your synonym in bold!
What superb synonym have you lassoed?
Where did you spy that synonym? Please, inform us of the book title!

ReplyDeleteDear Margot,
ReplyDeleteWhat a remarkable comment!
This is Adia and Hannah from Mrs. Yollis' class.
We have actually never read the book Gooseberry Park. Is a gooseberry a real berry or is it just a made up one?
We noticed that you mentioned that your synonym that you found in your book is muttering. Have you ever muttered before? We know we have.
Margot, we hope you can comment again!
Deputy Sheriffs,

Best regards,

Dear Taylor,

@Talor,
ReplyDeleteI have read the book BFG too. When I read that book I also found a lot of synonyms too. One of them was afraid for scared.
Did you like the BFG?
@Adia,
Last year I read the The Boxcar Children and the Mystery in the Snow too. I like mysteries and loved that book kept me in suspense until the very end. Did you like the book?

@ Autumn,
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving a comment! You are a great blogger.
I have never read Dragonbreath before. I will check it out at the school library when I go this week.
Many of my friends have read the book and they say it is a wonderful one.
I have some questions:
Is Dragonbreath an interesting book?
Would you recommend the book?
Why or why not would you recommend it?
If there was anything you could change about the book what would it be?
Thanks again for writing a comment!
I hope to hear from you again!
@Steven,
Thank you for writing a comment!
I have never read Geronimo Stilton - Wedding Crasher.
You remarked that in the book you are reading, the synonym is murmur. Have you ever murmured? I'm sure I have.
I hope you can leave a comment again!
@Tommy,
Thank you for writing a comment on The Reading Roundup!
I have never read Geronimo Stilton, Secret Agent #34.
My family and I are not the kind who are really into these books. I'm into the book series, The Boxcar Children. Have you ever read any of the books in the book series?
You are a great writer and I hope to hear from you soon!
@Maggie,
Thank you for leaving a comment on this blog!
I have never read the book Miss Holly is Too Jolly but soon I hope to.
You mentioned that the synonym you found is atrocious. I have heard that synonym before in a song.
"See" you later at The Reading Roundup.
@Seb, Paige and Cam,
Thank you for your comment!
I have never read the book Owls in the Garden. What is it about?
I noticed you three students wrote that the synonym you found is whispered. Have you ever whispered before? I totally have.
"See" you three later!
@Sam L.,
Thank you for your comment.
I have never read the book Brian's Winter. I noticed that the synonym you found is despicable. It was a surprise to me because I watched a movie and the title is Despicable Me.
You are a great writer and I hope to hear from you again.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to write a comment! I appreciate it!
Deputy Sheriff,
Adia :-)
Dear RR,
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the new blog and cannot wait until I write more amazing comments! The Reading Round up blog is going great so far and I bet it will be as good the Ugandan blog! I love how I can see all the books everyone is reading!
I think reading is stupendous and everyone in the world should read for at least 45 minutes a day. I read whenever I can. I love reading! Like you said books take you places. The book I am reading now took me to New York City. I could even feel the weather there. I was very cold. I found a different word for said. In my book From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, on page 148 the author wrote "Did you cheat"? he asked. Asked means when you ask someone something. My book is realistic fiction. It is realistic fiction because children really could run away and hide in a museum. I recommend this fabulous book for you.
I think books are outstanding. It is awesome to read books. I hope you read as often as you can.
Warmly,
Ry♥n
@Amanda B.
ReplyDeleteI read the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I liked that at the end the nicest child, Charlie, was the one chosen to run the candy factory and all the spoiled children got in trouble. Did you like the book? Who was your favorite charicter?
From,
Miriam ★
Dear Reading Roundup,
ReplyDeleteLike some of you, I am also reading Charlie And The Chocolate Factory right now. What a great book! (so far).
The synonym I lassoed is colossal, which means big or even enormous.
Here is part of the sentence: "...is just one great big colossal joke?"
Coincidently, this is also a spelling word this week!
Yours truly,
Ella in Mrs. Ranney's class
@Miriam,
ReplyDeleteGood evening! Sorry if this is a super short comment. I need to be get going to bed in a few minutes.
The second I read the book The Boxcar Children I immediately ♥ed it.
Just like you, I adore mysteries. The book also kept me in suspense as well.
I am the type of person who is like obsessed with mysteries. How about you?
Once again, sorry for the super short comment.
Your friend,
Adia
(P.S. Here is the answer to your question: Yes, I do like the book. Bye!)
@ Ella
ReplyDeleteThis is Deputy Sheriffs: ★Grace, ★Miriam, ★Adia, and ★Hannah.
Thank you for your well thought out comment!
We love how you used colossal, one of our vocabulary words!
We all have read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Grace and Adia have a favorite part. It is when Charlie tried to touch his mother and she turned to chocolate! Miriam and Hannah like when Charlie got the golden ticket to go to the factory!
The least favorite character for all of us is Violet. She turns into a blueberry!
Thanks for using such high-level vocabulary words in your comments!

Miriam, Grace, Adia, and Hannah

@Deputy Sheriffs Miriam, Grace, Adia, and Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind reply. My favorite part in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory is when the oompa-loompas said "Augustus Gloop" a few times before they chanted (that's a synonym for sang).
My least favorite character is Veruca because she is spoiled and nasty.
@Sheriff Yollis,
Thank you for appointing me Deputy Sheriff!
