Vocabulary Building
My friend Celeste had this on her blog: Peterson's Word of the Day. If you subscribe you will get a new vocabulary word each day in your email box. They include the pronunciation, the definition, the word in a sentence and synonyms of the word. My husband, daughter and I subscribed to it. Even if we don't look at every word every day over time I think we will be able to improve our vocabulary with out a lot of extra effort. Thanks Celeste!
