Beginner Level
Wordly Wise is an excellent vocabulary program that gives students a wonderful introduction to new words! Using short but impactful activities, students will learn 10 new words each week. We will meet once a week to review homework, learn new words, and discuss. Students must have their own copy of the Wordly Wise 3000 Book 2, 4th edition workbook to participate in class. Book 2 is typically for Grade 2 students, but any learner between 6-9 years old is welcome to enroll. ** Lessons do NOT build on each other so students can attend any week as desired to accommodate different schedules.** Various activities in the workbook include: completing sentences, using context clues to find the correct meaning, applying meanings, seeing connections between words, and also reading a story that uses all 10 words from the lesson. Lesson activities A-C are short, to keep students interested, and are usually multiple-choice. Lesson D consists of the reading passage for the week which we will complete together in class. Weekly Activities: * Discuss and give correct answers for the previous week's assigned homework; Activities B and C. * Read definitions and discuss each of the 10 new vocabulary words. * Teacher will model pronunciation and usage of the word including its part(s) of speech in example sentences. * Complete Activity A together in class. * Students and teacher will read the weekly reading passage aloud. * Play a Kahoot! game to check for comprehension and retention of word meanings.
