The Family Book of Word of the Day. For a Year. Every Year. Forever.

<p>Vocabulary is more important than you think. Indeed the number of words children know is a strong predictor of a range of outcomes. The more words a child knows early in their lives the better they will do in terms of literacy later on and the better they will do in terms of a number of other outcomes. And it's not just the number of words but the quality too that can affect these outcomes.</p><p>With this in mind this book intends to give the reader another tool to be able to increase the size of their vocabulary to help you improve your outcome no matter what your age. And let's face it it can be fun to learn new things. Including words!</p><p>For each day of the year a word is provided along with a definition and example of how the word might be used and a comment from the author - an interesting fact associated with the word some etymology (word history) or some irreverent banter! </p>
