Increasing a child's vocabulary is easy if you simply introduce them to words, says dad Kevin Kennedy, author of the new book "Ten Dollar Words for Kids."
"There are more than a million words in the English language, but we use very few," Kennedy said. He started teaching his own children a variety of words early in their lives to help them have expanded vocabularies. It was almost a game, but the result is they know more words than their peers, explained Kennedy. Published by Halo Publishing International, "Ten Dollar Words for Kids" will empower readers with the knowledge and understanding of new words. "It's for kids to learn big and prosper," said the author. Halo Publisher (www.halopublishing.com) Lisa Umina said "Ten Dollar Words for Kids" plants seeds for developing learning curiosity. "It inspires children to learn even more and an improved vocabulary will benefit them throughout their lives," Umina said. Kennedy has a vision to develop "Ten Dollar Words for Kids" books tailored to a variety of medicines such as dentistry, psychiatry, pediatrics, etc., and maybe even other complex professions. "Big words are there to use, not to wonder what they mean," he said.Videos
