Instilling a Love of Words in Your Child

Instilling a Love of Words in Your Child. "I think it was when we were reading ‘James and the Giant Peach' that we made a subtle shift from not just talking about characters, plots, and settings, to also talking about language. We were intrigued by all those Technicolor words that Roald Dahl liked to flash before our eyes. An author who never talked down to kids, Dahl used words like pandemonium, malevolently, and enthralled, which were often new to fourth graders."
