“…A fun way to learn how to use a basic writing tool, Doris TheSaurus is especially highly recommended for children’s public and school library collections.”   –Midwest Book Review Children’s Bookwatch January 2009 “Reviewer’s Choice”

This unique book shows children how to use a thesaurus in an engaging and student-centered way.  Students will want to join Sara on her magical quest to discover this friendly dinosaur’s secret.   If you are an educator who is teaching students writing skills, or you are a parent who wants to provide educational support at home, Doris and a thesaurus are a winning combination!

Children can reference a free thesaurus at the back of the book that includes a synonyms list and example sentences.  There are workbook pages for students to add their favorite words from books read.  This is a must-have if you are teaching writing process elements; a thesaurus lesson; and narrative, informational, or persuasive writing skills.   When giving writing prompts kids have to use in formal assessments, their knowledge of how to use a thesaurus to improve writing is vital.  Doris TheSaurus definitely adds to middle school or elementary writing language arts lesson plans, and is perfect for homeschool writing activites.
