Are your students struggling in reading, and you realize a weak vocabulary is a big part of their problem? We have been serving schools and families since 2001 with books for toddlers through adults all focusing on developing vocabulary. Check out our FREE books, articles, and activities.
The Illustrated Dictionary of Everyday Things
Previous
The Illustrated Dictionary of Everyday Things was written by a teacher at a Title One school who started a list of common, everyday words that her students (from grades 2 - 5) didn’t know, but should have. That list became this book. If students learn the labels in this book, they will have a STOREHOUSE of words to draw from when reading, writing, listening, and speaking. These are the words children need to know! The names of REAL things in their everyday lives!
