Absurd Words proves that growing your vocabulary can be fun when you make the ordinary extraordinary! Words are grouped in silly categories like Itchy Feet (journeys & adventures), G.O.A.T. (being the best), and Shock Value (the mindboggling surprises). Flip to a category or go front to back! This is an open-to-any-page-and-learn-something kind of book. Or shall we say, a compendium! Bright colors and various fonts make the pages pop. With over 750 new words, your students’ writing is sure to level up. ~Sara
