Vocabulary Cartoon of the Day for Grades 2-3: 180 Reproducible Cartoons That Expand Students’ Vocabularies to Help Them Become Better Readers and Writers

My boys (ages 6 and 7, grades K and 2) love this book! They ask me to read some of the cartoons every night before I read from a chapter book before bed. Some of the cartoons are not really laugh-out-loud funny, but they are entertaining enough for the boys. I have to explain some of the humor, as they don't always get all the inference due to their ages, but they still love the cartoons, and that's what matters.I think the humorous cartoons help them understand and remember the vocabulary, but I don't test them or anything, so I don't have concrete data on effectiveness. I mainly bought the book as help for my 2nd grader who gets tested on vocabulary as part of reading comprehension assessments. He enjoys the book, so hopefully he'll absorb some of the vocab meanings.There are two cartoons on each page along with the word, part of speech and definition to the right of each cartoon. Each cartoon is separated by a horizontal dashed line so that you could cut the page in half or photocopy the page and cut the page in half. That would be helpful if you were in a classroom setting or were using these as part of a lesson.

My 7 yr old loved these.. we cut them out, colored and wrote sentences to go with it.

My students like learning vocabulary today. I personally feel that the words are more advanced than 2nd - 3rd grade so I use it with my 3rd - 5th grade students. I would only use one cartoon per week.

I purchased this to be used in my Special education department and all of the Speech/language pathologists as well as Special Ed teachers are excited to use it for morning warm ups. I LOVE that there are 180 activities, one for each school day AND that it s broken down into parts of speech. I am all for sneaking in learning when kids don't realize it!

Some of these cartoons are funny, but some are outdated and my kids did not understand them.

I use this with my students who are hearing impaired and they LOVE it.So do I. Their retention of new "power vocabulary" words, as we call them, is impressive. Would recommend to any teacher.

More exposure to vocabulary in a fun way. My student said 98% were funny.

I like this book, and would be a great book for reproducing for multiple kids. You can copy pages, and have kids cut them out and make a book. Tips on other ways to use book in the front pages. Attractive way to learn.

知っている単語が殆どで語彙は増えませんでしたが、スペリングに使用しました。漫画の説明はこの年齢の子供にピッタリです。
