Description: We are the publisher, The Critical Thinking Co. and this is a brand new book in the latest edition. DescriptionBuild vocabulary the fun way with these thought provoking riddles. Vocabulary Riddles offers a collection of fun, alliterative riddles for students in Grades 4 – 8. Ideas for words have come from many sources including the New York Times and The New Yorker. Decoding the riddles can be an impetus for incorporating dynamic words into students’ lexicons and their writing. As a bonus, many of the words appear on ACT and SAT vocabulary lists.Unlocking each letter’s misfortune exposes the reader to four vocabulary words. Some of the words may sound familiar, but to understand the gist of the riddle, all four words are needed. A series of questions after each riddle prompts analysis of the vocabulary. Words are sorted by definition, synonym, antonym, and part of speech.The last activity asks students to synthesize the meaning of all four vocabulary words. From four sentences, they choose the most fitting representation of the riddle’s main idea. To accomplish this, each of the sentence’s four synonyms must be evaluated for its compatibility with the riddle’s word.Students learn to focus on:Definitions of wordsParts of speechSynonyms and antonymsAwards The Old Schoolhouse Magazine - Homeschool Blue Ribbon Award for Favorite Middle School ProductTillywig Brain Child Award - Fall 2017
