BUNNICULA VOCABULARY LISTS Our reading class is beginning the novel ​
Bunnicula ​
by Deborah and James Howe. These are the vocabulary lists that correspond with each unit and the page numbers where they are found in the book. We will do vocabulary activities in class that will help students “own” these words (know their meaning and be able to use them correctly). Please encourage your student to use these words and discuss their meanings at home in preparation for the end of unit vocabulary assessments that will test the their ability to use the word or its synonym (a word that means the same) in a sentence of their own.
