Word Choice

We have been learning a lot about the writing trait we call “Word Choice”. Authors choose the very best words to match the topic of their writing, and to create a picture for the reader.

Listening to books by authors that use words and vocabulary that are new to your child helps to expand their vocabulary both as a reader, and as a writer.

Enjoy listening to one more book by Kate Messner. This one is special, as it is not being released until this summer. The author is giving us a sneak peak! Listen for the wonderful words the author uses to describe the sights and sounds of the rainforest.
