For the Love of Learning Language
These are two of our most loved and used books of Poetry. Kids of all ages like to be silly and these poems are silly. They strike a certain cord with kids, they make me roll my eyes sometimes, but the boys love them.

These clever books are great for teaching parts of language. Like the one on top; I and You and Don't Forget Who What is a Pronoun? Throughout the book each pronoun is bold in text so that it stands out. They rhyme much of the time and are easy reads. The corny cartoons keep kids attention too.
This is our first year using this book so I can't say too much about it other than it's reproducible and each lesson has different activities, not that same activities repeated over and over with each set of new words. It holds my interest. And Noble's, which is most important.
Yeah, we start on SAT prep early around here. :) Each word has a cartoon and "sounds" like to help you remember it. Catchy and my kids do use words that surprise people from time to time.

I haven't thought about a vocabulary program. We read a lot of classics, and I use English from the roots up (Latin and Greek roots). Stu likes to put different latin/greek words together to make up new words. He will also sometimes take a word (ex. the other day it was Proverbs), and figure out the meaning of it by the latin/greek roots the word is made of.
