The Word Collector (Word Collector Series Book 1)
Formats: E-Book, Paperback, Hardback
Ages: 5-8
Priscilla is a word collector. She collects all sorts of words.
The problem is, although Priscilla collects lots of words, all she does is write them in large notebooks. She never, ever shares her words.
And because of this, she never, ever makes friends.
She wants to make friends, but she doesn’t know how.
She needs help.
But who can help her?
Read Priscilla’s adventure with word collecting to find out how she solves her problem, and, in the process, discovers how to use the words she has collected.
First in a grammar and composition series for 6- to 11-year-olds, The Word Collector features Priscilla, a word collector too shy to share her words, making it difficult for her to make friends. Written and illustrated in a style that captures and keeps students’ interest, the story encourages a love of language—and a willingness to help others—as it reviews the four main parts of speech: noun, verb, adverb, and adjective.
Reviews
English education for the young reader As children begin to read, words need to have structure for them. This book helps with that, show what words are: verb, noun, and so forth. It has been my experience with my children and other young reads, having a book that shows the words placement in a sentence, and then shows the type of word; not only helps with the understanding of the word this type of learning helps with word retention. Well done; good book for young reads.
I have no idea how this little book found its way into my kindle, but I am very glad it did. I do not have kids, so I read it to myself. It is a very nice way of teaching words and their use. This book also consists of a very sweet story with a very happy and inspiring ending.
