Challenge your child to think of some of their favourite words &#8211; funny words, strange words, beautiful words, tasty words, maybe even made-up words!<\/p>\n<p>Together make a list of words that your child might use to write poems, stories, letters or&#8230;almost anything! Perhaps you will consider posting the lists somewhere where you can add to them over time. You might choose to use a chart like this one:<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\">Funny Words<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\">Strange Words<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\">Beautiful Words<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\">Tasty Words<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\">Made Up Words<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\">Other Words I Like<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; height: 24px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; height: 24px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; height: 24px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; height: 24px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; height: 24px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 16.6667%; height: 24px;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been thinking about words and how writers use words for different purposes in their writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15985,"featured_media":0,"parent":72606,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70895","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-elementary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/70895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15985"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/70895\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/72606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/schools.wrdsb.ca\/athome\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
