Help prepare your children for beginning reading instruction and build reading skills
Did you know that a reader must understand at least 95% of the words in a text to comprehend it? Did you know a child with a strong vocabulary is more likely to understand what he reads, find learning new things easier (even beginning reading), enjoy learning, stay in school, and go to college?
The quality of a child's vocabulary both limits and elevates his probability of success in school and in life.
Why not give the children/students in your life the words they need to succeed?
"You CAN give your children/students an AMAZING vocabulary."
These books can help.

"The Parts of Everyday Things book is great. My son is almost five now and this book is helping him to increase his memory and vocabulary in a fun and useful manner. He enjoys putting his finger on the word and following the long arrows down to the photographs. Once he masters the picture he points straight to the specific part of the picture and tells me what it is. He thinks it's really fun to then show Mom (or anyone for that matter) what he's learned.
I must say that I think Janet has done excellent work on this book in a unique, and thoughtful manner. I'm glad to have it and I know my son will enjoy it for years to come." Jeff Clark, Au.D, CCC-A, F-AAA |
“I used the lessons that Ms. Caruthers created to teach morphemes to my 4th grade students. They enjoyed the lessons and learned about how word parts can aid them in word meaning. After just a couple of lessons, the students would point out morphemes in new words and try to find the word meaning using the parts they had learned. I have continued reinforcing the lessons throughout the year. I feel the lessons help my students better understand the unfamiliar words that they encounter every day.”

"I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your book and enjoy using it in my class. I was so excited about it that I implemented it into my classroom the very next day and two days later I used it for an observation by the principal." Patti Thorsen - Avalon Elementary |
