It’s hard to imagine Words are a basic building block of communication, and a strong vocabulary is an essential part of reading, writing, and speaking well The purpose of this book is to help young learners expand the number of words they know and the ways in which they use them Although 240 vocabulary words are introduced, many more words and meanings are woven into the book’s 24 lessons Learning new words is not just about encountering them; it’s about using, exploring, and thinking about them So the lessons in this book are organized around different aspects and attributes of words—how words are formed using prefixes and suffixes, synonyms, antonyms, verbs, adjectives, homophones, homonyms, compound words, key content area vocabulary, and more Tips • You’ll find a complete alphabetized list of all the lesson words on page 78 • As you introduce the lessons, have the following items available: beginning dictionaries and thesauruses, and writing notebooks or journals in which students can record words and use them in sentences Lesson Organization Each lesson includes three parts and introduces ten words The first lesson part includes: The second part includes: lesson

headings As the lesson proceeds they can make revisions and additions • Each page in every three-part lesson uses all ten vocabulary words The exercises on most of the pages use each vocabulary word once Encourage students to think about the best word to complete a sentence or to answer each question • Some words have more than one meaning, including some not given in the lesson You may want to point out additional meanings or invite students to discover them independently The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) has outlined learning expectations in English/Language Arts for
