What's the Word?




"Amy and Dan moved quickly through the train, adapting their gait to the gentle swaying motion."Page18 A King’s Ransom, Cahills vs. Vespers The 39 Clues by Jude Watson.


Gait: : a particular way of walking
        :a manner or rate of movement or progress


How to use it on your own: 
  • I knew all those girls ahead of me must be BFFs because their gait was so in sync.
  • Charlie pulled strongly on the leash, nearly knocking me down. Apparently my gait was too slow for him.
Research says that reading 20 minutes every day increases one's vocabulary.


Every week we’ll point out a word that we’ve discovered in our books.

We used http://www.merriam-webster.com to provide the definition.
