You might notice when you’re reading my blog that some words are underlined. If you hover over them, you’ll see a definition. That’s because I love using the right word for a thing or a concept, and I think kids like to learn words, too. So whenever I use a word I think kids might not know, I put it in my glossary!
Here are all the words I’ve defined so far:
