1. Building vocabulary.
A larger vocabulary enables children to express their thoughts and ideas more effectively. However, it takes encountering a new word 4 to 12 times to add it to one's vocabulary. Reading Quests offers activity sheets to aid repetition, recall, and memorization.
Our family’s favorite word from this book was “expedition” - “How he wished that he had been a scientist, instead of a house painter in Stilwater, so that he might have joined some of the great Polar expeditions.”
