Amazing Word Power Grade 3: 100 Words Every 3rd Grader Should Know

For each word, you'll find a simple pronunciation, a kid-friendly definition, an example of how to use the word in a sentence, and a fun illustration that further scaffolds kids' understanding. Words are presented in groups of five that are linked in some way—for example, words may have related meanings or share the same Latin or Greek root. Engaging word-building activities give kids the multiple exposures to a word they need to truly “own” each word. Each book also includes a handy checklist so kids can track their growing word power. Loaded with lively notes and doodles to spark kids' interest! 2-color!
