Notes

Week 3 of elementary vocabulary. This week's words focus on sensory experiences — sounds (echo, harmony, melody, whisper), water imagery (fountain, ripple, pebble), and precious things (diamond, nugget). The words build on Week 2's concrete nouns by introducing more abstract and sensory-rich vocabulary suitable for building reading comprehension and expressive writing.
