Editorial Reviews

04/01/2020

PreS-Gr 2—This series is designed to build vocabulary and grammar concepts by presenting categories of similar words. Each title features words on that theme and full-page photographs that depict the concept. Images often include synonyms or other relevant words. Within each book, vocabulary words are presented in no discernible order, and there is no back matter. Some of the terms will be difficult for developing readers without adult guidance; for example, Color Words describes animals as "flaxen" and "goldenrod." The titles that depict more specific concepts benefit from having more clearly defined relationships between the words, such as the verbs in Motion Words and the contrasts depicted in Texture Words. VERDICT A secondary purchase due to a lack of organization and terms that will be too difficult for the intended audience.
