101 Doodle Definitions
A different way to learn vocabulary—one your child will actually use. 101 Doodle Definitions, a Timberdoodle exclusive, pairs commonly tested words with simple drawing prompts so your child sketches each meaning instead of just memorizing a definition.
Each page introduces one word, gives a clear definition, walks your child through a step-by-step doodle that illustrates the meaning, and leaves space for him to draw his own version. The 101 words are drawn from standardized-test vocabulary—the kind of words that rarely pop up in ordinary conversation. Think oblivious, meticulous, loquacious, and quagmire.
The approach is mnemonic, but the experience is just plain fun. Working through a doodle for benevolent or bombastic is far more interesting than copying a definition into a notebook, and the meanings tend to stick because they're tied to something your child actually made.
The layout is simple enough to use a page or two at a time, which works well for students who like to draw, hesitate to write, or need a more active way to tackle new words.
By the time he's worked through the book, he has more than 101 new words. He has a method. Hand him any unfamiliar word from now on, and he knows what to do: imagine it, draw it, remember it. That carries forward into every book he picks up next.

Learning vocabulary can be boring, but not with 101 Doodle Definitions! My daughter has really enjoyed working her way through this book. The pictures help solidify the meaning in her mind in a fun way, rather than just memorizing them. Great addition to the fifth grade kit!

Research has shown that connecting a word and it's meaning to a picture helps you remember the meaning. A strong vocabulary is necessary for good reading comprehension so, as a former SLP, I love this book!

Vocab fun!
Jen
This is a fun and creative way to learn vocab. My only complaint would be I wish they had shown how to pronounce the words as well.

Fun book

My daughter is enjoying this cute book. It's a clever way of learning new definitions. I'm not sure how well they stick, since I haven't heard my daughter implement this new vocabulary into her speech, but I can see the benefit of memorizing through pictures. I would recommend this book for 5th graders.

I really love this concept of doodling to reinforce the definition! My only wish is that the book has the break down of the pronunciation included. I find that my son pronounces some of the words incorrectly which I then correct.

This book is similar to Marie’s Words, but better for the hands on learner.

Yay for adding drawing to our curriculum! My 5th grader is starting to draw more, and I want to encourage that.

Super creative

My elementary kids really enjoy recreating these sketches. Connecting the sketches to words helps new words make more sense.
