Myths Myths are traditional stories handed down through generations of families to teach social, religious, and moral values. A long time ago before books were made the people memorized, retold, and created myths. The stories changed over time through the generations but the story's main idea stayed the same. Many of the myths you read today are handed down from ancient times and written in a book. 1. What were myths used for? ____________________________________________ 2. What did the people do before books? ____________________________________________ Vocabulary: Context Clues If you don't know what a word means you can use context clues to help you. Context clues are found when reading the rest of the sentence to try to "guess" the words meaning that you do not know. When you practice more using context clues you will see a faster understanding of the reading. Write the meaning of the word underlined. 1. The yard was silent. You couldn't hear a sound. ________________________________________ 2. Frozen bananas are the best. They taste better cold. ____________________________________ 3. What time is it? My clock is broke. __________________________________________________ 4. Fries are good with ketchup sometimes. _____________________________________________ 5. This car is useless with a flat tire.
___________________________________________________ The Thesaurus A reference book that offers synonyms and antonyms instead of definitions is called a thesaurus. Just like in a dictionary the words are listed in alphabetical order for easy reference. A thesaurus makes a writers life much easier because they have more of a variety of words to choose from in case they need help finding new words. Example: The man smirked at the cook when
his food was not ready yet. Use a thesaurus and place a synonym on the line to complete the sentences. 1. I am (very tired) _____________ and ready for bed. 2. She is a (very pretty) ______________ woman in that dress. 3. My favorite (a cold drink) ______________ is milk. 4. The man (vanished) ______________ into the night. 5. She was (very happy) ______________ with her
school grades. Use these clues to define a verb.

Grammar: Singular and Plural Nouns
The difference between singular nouns and plurals nouns is easy to tell. A singular noun is only one person, place, thing, or idea. A plural noun is more than one person, place, thing, or idea. When a singular noun designates one particular group of people, places, things, or ideas these singular nouns are called collective nouns. Examples: colony, nest, huddle, flock, army
1. ___________________
2. ____________________ 3.
____________________ When something can be counted it is a count noun. Example: shoe, button, wheel On the other hand noncount nouns are words that describe something that is not countable and does not have a plural form. Example: oil,
powder, sugar Mark the noncount nouns. __ 1. water __ 2. salt __ 3. boot
- Add (s) to most singular
nouns - Add (es) to singular nouns
ending in the consonants s, x, z, ch,
and sh. - Add (es) when the singular
noun has a y and change the y to an i. - Sometimes a plural noun is
irregular and the spelling changes.
