Hi! I haven't noticed any words that I consider to be inappropriate for children. However, every parent has different things they consider appropriate or inappropriate, so I would review the book before purchasing just in case you and I have different opinions. Rainbow Resource has the best price, but you may want to look at a physical copy if you are concerned about content. I've checked books out from my local library before purchasing.

At the top of each page is the first and last word. For example, I turned to a random page and "dish-->dismal" is at the top.
reviewed item with the Child's Mother, she agreed it is a good match with her Daughter's learning needs. I chose this particular cover design as it looked more welcoming to a feminine reader.
To use with IEW's Fix It Grammar
I like the idea of pictures for young children.
Will use this primarily to look up vocabulary words in IEW curriculum.
