Our little household uses Vocabulary Workshop. These booklets are packed with vocabulary enrichment. Additionally, novels and textbooks bolster vocabulary. You can also use Word of the Day. I taught at two private schools which used WODs from the elementary grades. Another good source of WODs is Script’s Spelling Bee’s Words of Champions. BTW many home-schoolers compete nationally. Want to include a bit more rigor? Take a word, spell it, use it in a sentence, and specify synonyms. Do one a day. Learn a word’s etymology, such as cardiovascular, using an etymology dictionary. See why we also learn Latin?
