Word Jam: An Electrifying, Mesmerizing, Gravity Defying Guide to a Powerful and Awesome Vocabulary Book

NBA Hall of Famer and New York Knicks broadcaster Walt "Clyde" Frazier has created an exciting book to help provide kids with the essential vocabulary skills that many of them are growing up without. Word Jam explains more than 100 powerful words to help students boost their language skills and communicate with friends, families, and teachers. In addition, this celebrity author shares his own success story: How at the end of his basketball career he employed his love of learning, studied a new word every day, and eventually became one of America's most widely recognized sports broadcasters.

As Walt remembers, "I discovered that words are like people. Each word conveys a different meaning and has a different personality. Some words can make you feel sad, while others lift you up. The more words you know, the more you can sparkle and show your stuff!"

Highlighted vocabulary words used in brief stories are followed by definitions of and information about the history and usage of each word.
