The Word Collector

By Peter H Reynolds

 

In the story, what did Jerome like to collect?

That’s right he collected words…lots of words.

Long words, short words, powerful words and words that were marvellous to say

Could you help me count how many letters are in some of the words Jerome liked.

For example, the first word he liked in the story was:-

P    e    r    u     that has 4 letters in it

How many letters do these words have?

w    i    l    l    o   w                

e    m   e   r   a    l   d                          

d     r    e   a   m       

w    o     n   d    e   r   f    u    l

What word is the shortest?

What word is the longest?

You could be a Word Collector like Jerome.

 This little girl collects words and keeps them safe in her egg shapes

 

I have started collecting my favourite words and keep them safe in my special collection jar

 

  

The first word I saved was;  picnic

Have fun collecting words, remember your name is a word so you could start with that.  Let me know your favourite words.

Lots of love Mrs Cardigan xxx
