Wonderful Words of the Week
WWOW !
"Research shows that the more words a child knows, the more successful that child will be in school.  This is because the more terms a person knows about a subject, the easier it is to understand and learn new information related to that subject.  Studies also show that building students' vocabulary improves their reading and writing skills."
