be successful. Help build a solid
foundation for learning, reading
and writing for your children in
primary grades.
Children need to be able to use
their language skills to do more
than just answer questions or
repeat information. They need
to use language to describe,
explain, retell, predict, problem
solve, interpret and plan. How
can you find the time to boost
your childs language skills? Its
very simple!

Almost any family activity can

and building on what children
learn outside the home and in
school. Make learning a feature
of everything you do together as
a family.

writes
about words
THANKS
Gratitude is a fine thing, and in
honor of the one holiday that
focuses on gratitude, lets dip
our toes into the etymology of
the word thanks. It came to Old
English through a heap of loosely
related
languages including
Old Saxon, German, Old Norse,
Danish, and Old Frisian. We can
still see the relationship with the
modern German word danke.

COMPOSE
The OED offers one full page on
the word compose and over two
pages on its forms (composition,

composedness).
cop some

And what kind of light does that
throw on the subject? Which
shades of meanings appeal to you
and your composing process?
