Words Words Words

Vocabulary is an essential ingredient for

learning to read and for school success.

And when a child knows more words it means

they have more knowledge about the world!

But sometimes it is hard to learn words if you

don t hear people use those words around you.

What I love most about this book is that so much care

went into picking just the right words. These are the

rare words that children don t hear often in everyday

conversations, yet they will encounter these words in

school and in books and will need to know their meanings.

The just-right words combined with the fabulous

illustrations and definitions offer a fun and engaging

way to build children s vocabularies.
