Scholastic, the most trusted name in educational excellence, introduces 100 Words, the exciting new reading/workbook series that helps develop the skills that make reading fluent and fun. And if Reading is Fun, Kids Will Love Doing it! Vocabulary Development Builds Strong Readers To be a fluent reader, you need to learn new words and the vocabulary strategies that will help you build on the words you know. In fact, linguists estimate that for every new word children learn, they actually incorporate six or seven other words into their vocabulary in the process. The Scholastic 100 Words series helps children become skilled readers through vocabulary development. The 100 words in this workbook were carefully chosen by educational advisors. They are words that sixth graders encounter frequently. They are also words that help children expand their vocabularies through word-building. Each Scholastic 100 Words reading/workbook has nearly 500 full-color illustrations and photographs. Our workbooks are: * Creative. The activities include dictionary tips, reading and writing practice, comprehension, critical thinking exercises, and word puzzles. * Cumulative. As new words are introduced, previous words are incorporated into the activities. * Curricular. The activities reinforce what children are learning in school and give kids important experience that will help later with standardized tests. Plus, we've included fun, full-color bookmarks with vocabulary strategies and dictionary tips that will help your child as he or she is reading. 100 Words = 100 Ways to Love Learning.
