I’m
a writer. My son is not. But that hasn’t stopped me from trying to sharpen his
language arts skills.
This word nerd came up with a sneaky way to do it, too: connect the dots!

To
jog my son’s memory that adjectives are describing words, we read a Brian P.
Cleary book. Hairy, Scary, Ordinary: What
is an Adjective? is fun and engaging language arts literature at its best.
The
illustrations are clever and whimsical and the text is chock full of adjectives
which are set off with color (the rest of the words are black). So far, every
book from Cleary’s Words Are CATegorical series has been a hit with my son and me.
For
a little adjective practice, I made a great puzzle.

The
instructions were simple – start at the red star and connect the lowercase
adjectives alphabetically. When you get to “z,” start over with uppercase
adjectives until you’re back where you started. Lastly, connect the square dots
drawing a line from number to number starting at one black star and ending at the other.
