Get the week started by building your vocabulary:
- Download an app that will offer you a new word each day. Check your favorite app store to see what they have to offer.
- Visit and sign up for the ‘Word of the Day’ via email from a site of your own choosing or either of these sites: https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day or http://www.dictionary.com/wordoftheday/
- Kids may enjoy using these sites: http://www.wordcentral.com/buzzword/buzzword.php or http://learnersdictionary.com/word-of-the-day
- Pull up a dictionary site, or open a physical dictionary to a random page, and learn the word that appeals to you most.
Write the word down somewhere or text it to yourself so you don’t forget it, read its meaning, then find ways to use it throughout the day.
If you have a young child, encourage them to play along with you. Give them a picture book and choose a new word to use and play with each day. Make up a song, draw a picture, do some kind of craft, or make up a game that features that object.
