Meet sixteen dinosaurs and discover how we learn about them.

Part of the Vocabulary Tales series, this book introduces eight key words that are important for young readers to know. The key words are highlighted in the story, then reviewed in a trio of activities that follow the story. Young readers can complete a Meaning Match, Vocabulary Fill-Ins, and Vocabulary Questions, all focused on dinosaur days.

Brightly colored illustrations of a variety of dinosaurs accompany the easy-to-read text. Key words are noted in a box where a simple definition and a sample sentence are also included.

The target audience for this vocabulary builder story is the young reader, ages five through seven, in the lower primary grades. Designed as a foundation vocabulary builder, it helps young readers enrich and expand their vocabularies by introducing and reinforcing must-know words in fun, read-aloud stories. [The must-know words in “Dinosaur Days” are ancient, carnivores, crest, enormous, extinct, fossils, herbivores, and species.]

Highly recommended, especially for dinosaur fans. ( )
