#56 The Word Collector

Today we’re exploring excellent, wonderful, marvelous synonyms!

The Word Collector, by Peter H. Reynolds, introduces readers to Jerome - a boy who loves words so much that he collects them. We’ll piggyback on this admiration by having some word fun of our own. Today’s lesson is a great one for introducing synonyms for the first time, or for nudging students to use synonyms to spice up their writing.
