#Word for a book collector cracked
Gimmie Cracked Corn and I will share by Kevin O'Ma.Whale in a Fishbowl by Troy Howell and Richard Jones.Melrose and Croc: A Hero's Birthday by Emma Chiche.There are some wonderful picture books and novels you might use to raise awareness of words and perhaps even to enhance the word knowledge and vocabulary of your students. Transformative power of words––and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Michelle and I want to do our part to give all you parents aīreak today, so we’re reading “The Word Collector”… It’s a fun book that vividly illustrates the Michelle and Barack Obama selected this book to read aloud during the early days of Covid-19. Peter Reynolds has a web site for his book. The Word Collector has inspired a huge number of brilliant activities to use with your class. Here is a video of the whole bookof The Word Collector. Here is the book trailer from Scholastic. Is the limited vocabulary of our students a product of the 'screen age'? Less conversation between adults and children? Less time for longer sustained conversations? Over years of reading to children I am constantly surprised when children have missed seemingly simple words. These children who live near the ocean but she discovered only one child in the class knew the word oar. A recent example I heard comes from the book We're Stuck which my friend was sharing a young class. When reading picture books to young children it is often so surprising when a child asks for the meaning of what, on the surface anyway, seems to be quite an every day word. Īll of those glorious words but of course they are not simple words. Mellow, laid-back and, well, slothful! I am relaxed and tranquil. Unflappable, languid, stoic, impassive, sluggish, lethargic, placid, calm, I am lackadaisical, I dawdle and I dillydally. Take a look at this sentence from Slowly Slowly Slowly said the Sloth by Eric Carle: Long words slouch with stooping shoulders, As a part of this presentation I included lots of picture books and lots of poems. In 2017 I did an extensive presentation for my school staff on this topic.
#Word for a book collector professional
Recently a teacher in a school, where I do occasional volunteer work, mentioned the staff are participating in professional development on the topic of vocabulary. "The more words he knew the more clearly he could share with the world what he was thinking, feeling, and dreaming."Įvery page in The Word Collector is a delight. Words such as "I'm sorry" "You matter" and "I understand.". Jerome also realised some very simple words are actually very powerful. The combinations of words look like poems. His tower of word books grows so tall it falls over and the words are scattered but this leads to a new discovery. He develops a huge collection which he then organises into categories.
