Parents: Your child could have an amazing vocabulary. This book is a systematic way of teaching the vocabulary your child needs the most. Research shows that children with strong vocabularies become better readers and can learn new things easier and faster. In fact, children with strong vocabularies typically learn 7-8 new words per day, while those with weak vocabularies only learn 1-2. This gap widens daily because the more words your child has in his spoken vocabulary, the easier it is to learn new words and the easier it is for him to learn to read. Send your child to school with what he really needs most... a strong vocabulary!
Teachers: Here is a fantastic way of extending your vocabulary lessons into the home. The book can be used as a black-line master book. Your students could be the ones entering the next grade with amazing vocabularies. Imagine how proud you will be.
Here's how:
Teach an object a week (All the objects with parts listed are in the book, you just find an art and/or movement activity to reinforce the new knowledge).
Make a double-sided copy of the extension activities for that object .
Send it home with each student. I believe many parents would help their children if they knew exactly what to do. These activities tell parents exactly what to do. They are written on a 4th grade readability level for those parents who struggle with reading themselves. Since you only send one page home at a time, the parents won't be overwhelmed.
