This is the dictionary children REALLY need! AND they love it!
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!
Activities in this TEACHING GUIDE will help students:
1. Build broader concept knowledge
2. Strengthen word choice
3. Expand application of words across contexts
4. Build word relationships
5. Extend concepts
6. Increase understanding of multiple meaning words
7. Use knowledge of individual words to predict meaning of compound words
8. Visualize as they read
9. Make logical inferences while reading
