Turn a lower-case "b" into a joyous dancing girl to illustrate "blithely"; draw a twisted, winding road from a letter "c" for "convoluted"; transform three concentric "o's" into an "obsolete" rotary dial phone. From "acme" to "zenith," this clever activity book offers an innovative approach to vocabulary building: Doodle the definition! For each of the 101 words (all chosen because of their frequent appearance on standardized tests), you'll find the part of speech, definition, and a sample sentence, followed by step-by-step instructions for turning the first letter of the word into a simple but evocative depiction of the meaning. Young learners will end up with a great visual aid for remembering difficult words! Teachers and parents, take note: 101 Doodle Definitions (complete with included sketching pencil) offers a fun and effective method for expanding the vocabulary of kids ages 10 and up.
