  • ·         What is the root word?
  • ·         Check in a dictionary. 

 Use these as a checklist for success:


Read the extract below taken from ‘The Legend of Podkin One – Ear by Kieran Larwood and then answer the questions using the skills as above. 


  1. Which word has the closest meaning to hunched? Weary, tired, cold, old
  2. Write a synonym for trod?
  3. Which word could the writer have used to replace wanderer? 
  4. What does the word betide mean in this sentence?  That is the tradition and the law throughout all of the Five Realms of Lanica, and woe betide anyone that doesn't keep it. 
  5. Find and copy a word which means the same as achieved with great achievement. 
  6. Explain the meaning of the word trinkets.
