Learn the importance of leadership as you explore vocabulary in context through Leo Lionni's book Swimmy, which can be found on YouTube in case you don't have it. This text includes some excellent vocabulary words for young readers, including: fierce, marvel, midday, sway, and swift, all of which have specific comprehension questions to accompany them. Encourage kids to raise a hand when they hear one as you read, paying close attention to context clues. The graphic organizers are great as a possible homework assignment.
