Review: Bye-bye boring, humdrum words! - I bought this to spice up my second grader's writing. It is never too early to get children interested in writing and I recognized the need for a varied vocabulary even in a young child's writing. Being a reading and writing teacher myself, I've seen students benefit from a rich vocabulary. This book makes a great introduction of sorts to help enliven one's writing. Though it states that the target group is Grades 4-8, the lists of words in here can be easily modified to suit learners of any age group. The lists are also reproducible making it convenient for use in the classroom or in homeschooling. The lists cover or comprise the following: Transitions Essay Verbs Movements Action Verbs "Said" Synonyms -ly adverbs Colors and Shapes Sight Sound Smell Taste Touch Conditions Body Hair Face Character Traits Emotions/ Feelings Big/ Small Beautiful/ Ugly Good/ Bad Interesting/ Boring A Little/ A Lot Easy/ Hard Compare/ Contrast Be Specific! 50 Boring Words and Phrases to Avoid My Own List of Interesting Words (students get to compile their own lists) I usually provide my daughter with a list of simple prompts (since she is only in second grade, I modified it a little) e.g. "Describe the wonderful smells in the bakery", etc. This is a great teaching resource!
Review: Great book of synonyms for different situations! - Written by a teacher and used by teachers. Great resource for kids to use when writing narrative or informational paragraphs and stories. Definitely makes writing more interesting to read. Recommended for kids who are serious about writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book of synonyms for different situations!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I teach Honors classes in high school, and this is even perfect for them!
*by A***B on February 3, 2013*

I know the cover makes it look like an elementary-level book. When I bought it, I thought I would just have to have my aide use the lists and make new, high-school looking handouts for my to give my students (giving copyright credit, of course), but the pages are rich with words. There aren't large, silly illustrations dominating the pages at all. Every list is helpful. There's even a list of words to use in essays that I passed out to use for literary and rhetorical analysis papers. I also teach creative writing, and this book is a wealth of information and words that are far from Mickey-Mousy. I wish this company would make a pocket-sized version of this for each of my students to carry around in their backpacks since I want to make copies of every page (hint-hint)!
