Very Odd Word Book For Beginning Readers—Too Much Emphasis On Cultural Diversity
I ordered this for a child entering kindergarten this year—she enjoys books and words, so having a pictorial that combines both to form a beginner’s dictionary of sorts seemed like a good idea. And in general, this Merriam-Webster book does that, but there are just too many words that don’t fit into a five year old’s vocabulary. The author tries very hard to incorporate all cultures in this book, and it shows in odd ways. Some of the 1,000 words include bento box, hijab, hairnet, turban, tattoo, tagine, samosas, sushi, one-piece swimsuit and turnstile. Most of what’s in this book aren’t really “ready for school” words that early readers begin to sound out or learn. Instead we have captions that read like this, “A diner asks the waiter which meals are vegetarian because he does not eat any meat.”I expected something more simple in words and style from Merriam-Webster. Instead, it’s more of a politically correct book that describes the everyday activities of the Chen, Moreno-Ryan, Jacobs, Khan, Singh, Gorski-Felstein and Clark families. Was it really necessary to incorporate so much cultural detail into a children’s beginner word book? Our five year old much prefers looking at Richard Scarry’s Best Word Book Ever because it is geared toward simple words that interest kids most, and has fun animal characters that children readily relate with. She has a much easier time remembering words and pictures like hide and seek than tagine. This word book is too heavy on cultural diversity—something kids don’t ordinarily think about.
