At the first club meeting, Mrs. Sanom read aloud Mis Alaineus: A Vocalulary Disaster (Frasier, 2007), about a girl named Sage who loves words. In the story, Sage misunderstands the meaning of miscellaneous, but what begins as embarrassment turns into victory when she wins an award for her costume in the school's annual vocabulary parade. The students talked about the story in a grand conversation, and they decided to dress in costumes and have a vocabulary parade themselves, just as Mrs. Sanom knew they would. "I like to dress in vocabulary costumes," Mrs. Sanom explained. "I plan to dress up in clothes or a hat that represents a vocabulary word at each club meeting." With that introduction, she reached into a shopping bag and pulled out an oversized, wrinkled shirt and put it on over her clothes. "Here is my costume," she announced. "Can you guess the word?" She modeled the shirt, trying to smooth the wrinkles, until a student guessed the word woinkled. The students talked about wrinkle, forms of the word (wrinkled, amwrinkled, and wrinkling), and the meanings. They checked the definitions of wrinkle in the dictionary. They understood the first meaning, "a crease or fold in clothes or skin," but the second meaning - "a clever idea or trick"-was more difficult. Mrs. Sanom called their idea to have a vocabulary parade "a new wrinkle" in her plans for the club, and then the students began to grasp the meaning.

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr . Jekyll and Mr Hyde. With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two.

Mastering ELA: Reading, Writing, & Speaking

What is ELA?

ELA stands for English Language Arts, which encompasses the study of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. It’s the foundation for learning language skills, improving literacy, and fostering an understanding of literature and composition. In ELA, students engage with texts, analyze language usage, and learn to express themselves effectively in both written and spoken forms.

How many words are in the English language?

It's difficult to say exactly how many words English language speakers use! English is always changing; new words are added, old terms are dropped out of use, and existing words have meanings changed. Though some linguists feel the count could be greater or lower, estimates indicate the language consists of about a million words. Although the Oxford English Dictionary includes more than 470,000 entries, dictionaries differ and they do not fully reflect every slang term, loanword, or scientific jargon that has found common use in daily speech. Your definition of a 'word' will determine the actual count: do you count phrases, loanwords, or inflected forms as distinct words? Language is always changing, hence there are much more words than most people would ever need!
