Very Beneficial

The English Language is rich in its variety and usage. Once a child has learned the rudiments of reading and writing he or she will benefit from an expanding vocabulary. This book is filled with interesting and fun activities that will help your child discover a colorful palette of words and give them lifelong tools for word comprehension and creativity. Cheney shows you how to teach your kids about finding the meaning of unfamiliar words by looking at the the surrounding context and at the word roots to find clues to possible meanings; she also includes a useful list of words to know. Prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, antonyms and analogies are all part of the complicated orchestration of words that make up our language. This book will help you expand your child's creativity by giving him or her the tools to more precisely communicate ideas and more clearly understand the ideas of others.
