Welcome to RainbowResource.com — Learning Tools for Homes and Schools Serving Home Educators Since 1989

Looking for a fun way to increase your child's vocabulary? 180 reproducible cartoons are contained in each book, and each cartoon highlights a new word to learn for the day. It's like reading the comics, but a bit more educational. Verbs, nouns, and adjectives are all included, and the vocabulary words are all in common use. For each of the cartoons, one of the characters is saying something humorous within the context of what is going on in the picture. The vocabulary word is bolded within the cartoon, and the part of speech and definition of the word is given to the side. Two cartoons are displayed on every page of the book, and everything is in black and white. While black and white cartoons could be seen as a drawback (who doesn't love the colorful Sunday comics the best?), children could have fun and get more use out of the book by coloring the comics themselves. The vocabulary words are geared towards specific grade ranges, but they could be beneficial for younger or older students depending on their vocabulary level. 94 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel
