Spooky Halloween Word Problems have been suddenly appearing all over our classroom! During our
Writer's Workshop times we have been focusing on
Word Choice. Word Choice is about painting a picture with your words. It's about trying a variety of words to connect with your reader.
It's about using verbs to create an active, energetic voice and trying new ways of saying things. Word Choice is about using the perfect word in the perfect place.
After learning about nouns, verbs and adjectives the children are focusing on the power of word choice while creating their own Halloween Word Problems for their classmates to solve!
Reading to your child each night is a wonderful way to enrich their vocabulary. As you are reading to your child, you might want to try taking a moment to point out certain verbs or adjectives that the writer used to paint a picture in the reader's mind using words. This will help your child tremendously as they grow as a reader and a writer!
