Word Choice Worksheets

Part of the art of writing is making correct word choices to fit the purpose and the audience. Often referred to as diction, vocabulary certainly plays a role in word choice, but it is much more. It’s also about formal writing, as opposed to everyday speech, and the style, or the way a writer puts words together. Students benefit greatly in their adult years by learning the way to choose their words effectively. Our word choice worksheets below are free for you to use in the classroom or at home.
