Use a Better Word from Teacher Created Resources

May 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Teacher Created Resources is pleased to introduce Use a Better Word, a new book for students in Grades 4–8. This is not a vocabulary book in the traditional sense, nor is it a book of synonyms. The goal of this book is to encourage students to choose the most appropriate word to convey an idea in a specific instance. As students build their vocabulary, their skills in reading, writing, and speech also improve. The book presents 30 posters that offer alternative word choices for an overused word. Each poster is accompanied by two activities to promote the use of more specific and vivid word choices.

The 96-page book sells for $12.99 and is available now.
Educators and parents can visit www.teachercreated.com to find out more about this and other Teacher Created Resources products.
