## Lesson: Trying Out a New Word

You just learned a new word. Now try it out. Say it in a sentence. Write it in a story.

*(drawing: Hear a word, then try saying it, then write it too.)*

**Example.** Sam heard 'enormous' in a read-aloud. At recess he said, 'That slide is enormous!' He used his new word.

**Tip.** Try a new word in more than one place. Say it at home. Write it at school too.

**Recap.** Hear it, try it, then use it again in new places.
