There's nothing better than finding the perfect word to say what you really want to say! It's obvious to most when an argument is clear, but lacking that certain phrasing. Oftentimes, my students have something poignant to say, but lack the flavor that would make their writing more relevant or artful and compelling. Given the right resources, their writing could reach a deeper chord. At this age, children are discovering the magic of words. Helping them comes in a variety of forms, but giving them a student Thesaurus and Dictionary is giving them a key to a wonderful world.
