One aspect of Ellie's Word that I truly enjoy is focusing on one facet of Word Web Vocabulary each month. The words below are those that I overlooked when writing the original text. I feel sure that many teachers and students have also written in their own "missing" words. I hope that we can find a way where you and I can share them with each other and post them in a proper place. I'd be very happy if you sent me words you have added to any lessons.
