Early in the year we learned how to "tune in" to interesting words when we read. The idea of choosing words carefully in our writing is called Word Choice. Proficient 2nd grade writing must include:
* specific nouns
* action verbs
* adjectives that create a sensory image for the reader
* words that stretch beyond the writers spelling ability
At home, please encourage your child to "tune in" to interesting words that they could use in their writing. This may happen when you read or during conversation. We are making lists of words in our Writer's Notebook. Hopefully, this will boost the quality of the Word Choice in our writing. Thank you!
