Word Books

 


If you didn't get enough words yesterday, check out these sources!
Filled with words for children by grade level, Children's Writer's Word Book will fill your hours with the joy of words that kids will understand. It helps authors discover which words editors would accept for stories for specific age levels.
If you're just looking for a lot of words quickly without the distraction of meanings found in dictionaries, check out Webster's Instant Word Book (35,000 words) or Louis A. Leslie's 20,000 Words for Stenographers, Students, Authors & Proofreaders. I used both books professionally in an office setting long before computers were in common use. They served as spellcheckers for office workers, dividing the words correctly into syllables for line breaks.
Words, words, and more words! Sometimes finding the right word is just a matter of thumbing through a book filled with words.
