We found the word dejected in Charlotte's Web by E.B.White in chapter 4.
Friendless, dejected, and hungry, he threw himself down in the manure and sobbed.dejected: cast down in spirits; depressed
This book is full of so many more vocabulary words: injustice, holler, cellar, eaves, trough. We highly recommend reading it with your children!
Research shows that reading 20 minutes a day expands 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 this definition.
