Please have a good child friendly dictionary at home. For the younger children this means larger print and some pictures. I have samples in the classroom. We will be doing dictionary work ongoing. Encourage your child to look up words occasionally from her reading or any word that they do not know the meaning. Elementary students are fascinated with new words.
Here are some words from our "White Fang" reading that most students were not familiar with: casket, gloomy, yearn, litter, sufficient, instinct, dim, harsh, accustom, fascinate, fierce. You could look up some of these words with your children using the guide words at the top of the page.
