Weighty Words, Too

Weighty Words, Too by Paul M. Levitt, Douglas A. Burger, and Elissa S. Guralnick

The long awaited sequel to The Weighty Word Book is now available - Weighty Words, Too!

Burdensome
Katzenjammer
Mystify
Wondrous
Zany

These are five of the twenty-six words, one for each letter of the alphabet, that appear in Weighty Words, Too. As with the earlier Weighty Word Book, the stories, often fanciful, help young readers build their vocabularies.

"Hibernate" tells the tale of Nathaniel, a very energetic Canadian bear, who plays in the snow with the other bears. Soon all the bears tire and want to sleep, with the exception of Nate. "He's hyper," one grizzly bear observes. "If it's winter sleep you want," advises Nathaniel, "then I suggest you do the opposite from me, hyper Nate." So, whenever animals sleep through the winter, think of "hyper Nate," and you will remember the word HIBERNATE.

The sound of each multi-syllable word lends itself to a pun, which forms the basis for the story that follows. Although the stories are fanciful, they each lead to the correct meaning of the word that inspired them. The stories and the puns become memory hooks and encourage young readers to increase their vocabularies by forming mnemonics for any new words they encounter.
