Since Jenny has recently begun third grade in her home school, we decided the time was right for her to discover the joys of a dictionary. Elizabeth came up with a creative way to exploit Jenny’s fascination with words while expanding her vocabulary and familiarizing her with the dictionary at the same time. So here’s the deal: a few times a week, Jenny goes into her room with a pencil, paper and dictionary. She writes a sentence using as many words as possible that all begin with the same letter. The dictionary is used to find new words that begin with the letter in question, and she has to use them in a way that demonstrates she has grasped their meaning. Some of her creations were so memorable that I decided to make a new page on our site and share her results as we go along. Jenny is collecting her sentences in a book that she has titled Amazing Alliteration, so if you know any publishers who are looking for books from six-year-old authors….
Keep checking back until she reaches the z. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, in spite of some humorously misplaced modifiers.
