Introduction


The definitions we provided for each word are simplified so even the youngest reader can learn with this. When multiple meanings exist we tried to provide the meaning that most people would have a use for.


All major, and some minor, holidays are accounted for and we’ve included some obvious and some not so obvious jokes throughout.


We’re not perfect so if our definition and example still have you stumped, your integrated e-reader dictionary is there to help you.

We hope you enjoy our word a day calendar. We designed it to be easy to understand and to the point.


Directions: Go to today’s date and read the word of the day, the definition, and the example sentence.

Try to incorporate the word of the day into a conversation or writing on that day.

Tomorrow when you open the calendar your e-reader will have saved your spot, flip the page to the new day.


Suitable for any age reader.
