My nephew is in middle school, which means he needs to start building his vocabulary. In helping him with this, I made sure to include one very important detail.
If you do not know how to pronounce a word, type Pronounce and then the word into Google search. It will let you hit a little sound bit that says the word out loud.
Listen, you have no idea how important this is. For a lot of kids, you may learn the bigger words, but it's possible no one around you has ever said them. Pronunciation may be something you just construct in your head and most of the time, it's wrong. At least, if you were me, it was wrong. Having a way to learn how to say the word as you learn the word is very, very helpful.
