Some kids collect baseball cards. I collect words. Hi! I'm the Word Whiz. I didn't become a Whiz all on my own -- my parents and teachers helped me. And together, you and I can help your child master more than 400 vocabulary words that elementary school students need to know for tests, in class, and when doing homework. Really important words for subjects like: English Language Arts: narrator, opinion, scene, antonym, motivation Math: average, volume, numerator, intersect, rhombus Social Studies: equator, consequences, citizen, pioneer, heritage Science: mammal, atmosphere, soluble, condensation, habitat I've also included words commonly used in questions on the TAAS, such as approximately, estimate, and compare. I made up some really fun activities to help your students learn these words. Since I'm in elementary school, my exercises involve things kids my age are interested in, like TV, movies, games, sports, and music. They come with: * WhizTips: extra hints on how to learn vocabulary words and ace tests. * On the TAAS: examples of how the words are used on the test. I also wrote this huge WhizWord list in back with kid-friendly (and parent-friendly!) definitions and sample sentences. The words in this book will come in handy for the rest of your child's life...So let's get started!

The nation's premier communications expert shares his wisdom on how the words we choose can change the course of business, of politics, and of life in this country In Words That Work, Luntz offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the tactical use of words and phrases affects what we buy, who we vote for, and even what we believe in. With chapters like "The Ten Rules of Successful Communication" and "The 21 Words and Phrases for the 21st Century," he examines how choosing the right words is essential. Nobody is in a better position to explain than Frank Luntz: He has used his knowledge of words to help more than two dozen Fortune 500 companies grow.
