Summary: <p><strong>Today we’re exploring excellent, wonderful, marvelous synonyms!</strong></p> <p><strong>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.</strong></p> <p><strong>Join National Board Certified Teacher, Reading Specialist, and Literacy Coach Dr. Julie Webb as she describes the teaching possibilities hidden inside this treasured mentor text.</strong></p> <p><strong>Try this lesson in your class tomorrow:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://litcentric.podia.com/litcentric-radio-lessons-growing-bundle"><u><strong>https://litcentric.podia.com/litcentric-radio-lessons-growing-bundle</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Literacy Today article:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/a577adea#/a577adea/18"><u><strong>http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/a577adea#/a577adea/18</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>LitCentric Radio Season 5 is generously sponsored by Book Taco:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://booktaco.com/welcome-librarians/"><u><strong>https://booktaco.com/welcome-librarians/</strong></u></a></p>
