I am about to start volunteering with an organisation which helps children to read. I find if a child knows the meaning of a word (rather than just how to say it) it helps them use that particular word more confidently.
However, I am not always great at explaining long words to children - and tend to use other long word definitions, which would in fact confuse them more.
I need to find a way to explain the word in the most simplest of terms!

Does anybody know if there is a book - or even a website - which does this that I can turn to for reference when reading with the kids?
