Three Ways to Develop Critical Skills

  1. Building Vocabulary: 

    Expanding one's vocabulary can improve communication and comprehension. 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 “hypochondriac”. We had an active discussion on who we felt was the hypochondriac in our family!! ;-)
