PRODUCT SUMMARY
Choosing stories for the next issue of their magazine, the Wordswork staff decides to focus on words that tell us more about other words. In Descriptive Words & Phrases, the team explores the world of adjectives -- words that describe nouns like 'blue,' 'large,' 'loud' or 'squishy' -- and adverbs -- words that describe verbs, like 'slowly,' 'then,' 'near' or 'clumsily.' Our editors really get expressive when they learn how to enhance sentences using prepositions and prepositional phrases. Along the way, the kids learn rules for identifying and using these descriptive tools, as well as some very helpful exceptions to the rules. Finally, the team uses adjectives, adverbs and prepositions to fill in the blanks in a fun word game! Part of the multivolume Grammar for Children Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
