Product Description:
A high-quality vocabulary resource kids will love referencing time and time again! It includes a hard cover with thick, glossy pages and vivid, full-page illustrations. The zany character illustrations made me chuckle… they will definitely capture kids’ attention and hopefully boost their understanding and help them to remember new words better! Divided into several categories, the 1,000 words cover a broad range of topics such as: time, technology, everyday life, outdoor adventures, numbers, learning and creating, etc. Each 2-page spread centers around a theme and core vocabulary words, word pairs (words that often go with the main word), and definitions that are in larger, easy-to-read print scattered throughout. For an extra fun challenge, a tiny character named Bogart is hidden throughout the book for kids to spot as they study. Some of the words and illustrations have been turned into very short cartoons and can be watched online with the QR codes found at the back of the book. 247 pgs. hc. ~Nancie

Mrs. Wordsmith is an award-winning company who believes that educational resources should be just as thrilling as the movies and games that kids play! Together with Hollywood artists, game designers, teachers, and other experts, they created a product to captivate and engage children, while accelerating their reading skills. Advertised as being “the silliest learning company” … and I think they live up to it! Each learning product features their trademark gang of goofy animal characters in outlandish situations, causing kids to giggle and engage so that they learn and remember. The same characters are used in all the books but are depicted as children in lower-level books (PK-2) while the higher-level books (3-6) show them grown-up. The exaggerated characters and illustrations bring a chuckle, but some parents may appreciate knowing that one character, Bearnice, typically features a crop top and low riding pants that don’t always fit her very well in the older level books. Several of Mrs. Wordsmith’s products use QR codes that kids can scan to hear proper pronunciation of sounds or words.
These materials cover both writing and grammar, but they are more supplemental in scope.
