If this is your first visit to the site we have long maintained that children have the ability to be much smarter than they are. Also, welcome to this kidlit corner of the internet, take off your shoes and relax. By the first statement I mean that if we teach kids as the smart sponge-like vehicles they are and expect more from them, they’ll level up. One aspect of that, as well as, the difficulty and brilliance of the English language is how specific it is. There is a precise word for most anything, that’s one reason why mastering it as a second language is challenging. 365 Words for Clever Kids! is a book whose content fourth and fifth-grade kids need to know. Those fourth-grade kids will know some of the words and fifth-grade kids might know about half of them. However, it will behoove any student in those grades and higher to have been exposed to them.
