This is not an AHL event, but it is hosted by an AHL member. I wish my son were in 3rd grade...What an opportunity!

WORD MASTERS Vocabulary and Analogies Challenge

I will be hosting the Word Masters Challenge for 3^rd graders this year. This is a nationwide competition that holds three ‘meets’ during the school year, one in December, one in February and the final one in April.

The contest runs as follows: About three weeks before each meet your child will receive a list of 20 words. They learn their meanings and usage to prepare themselves for using them in a 20 question analogy ‘test’ at the meet. An example analogy is

SNOW : WHITE :: BLOOD:________________________________
( a. vein / b. war / c. flowing / d. scarlet / e. ice )
I have done this contest for several years and have found that the kids not only enjoy it but also really learn the words inside and out and retain their meanings forever. My high schoolers still will say, “Hey, that was a Wordmaster word!”

All the studying/preparation is done in your own home and you simply show up at my house in Rio Rancho on three occasions to take the challenge which takes about 30 minutes (there is no time limit) Depending on the numbers enrolled, if space demands I will find an alternate location.

I need a minimum of 10 kids to form a team and there is no maximum. Kids need to be 3^rd graders. (The contest is for 3-12^th grade but I am hosting the 3^rd grade level).

The only cost is the registration fee and some mailing expense. This will be divided between the families so at most each student will need to pay $10 and it will be less if more than 10 kids register.

You can view their website at http://www.wordmasterschallenge.com/

Please email me at larks@cableone.net to register or call me at 771-3366 for more information.

Deadline to register with me is Friday, Sept 26^th.
