Merriam-Webster’s Word Central website offers many tools and fun activities for kids and grown ups alike. Visitors can search the dictionary, thesaurus and a rhyming dictionary, right from the main page. Have you invented a word? Submit your word creations and let everyone else know what they mean … read other people’s word creations, some of them are kind of fun! The Daily Buzzword gives you a “word of the day” including the word’s pronunciation (which is written out dictionary style as well as available audibly), the word’s part of speech and definition(s) are also listed as well as an example of the word’s use in a sentence. A one question quiz is also supplied to help test your knowledge. An RSS feed of the Daily Buzzword is available for those who have reader pages. The site also includes a page of links to various educator resources.
