Wordly Wise is an excellent vocabulary program that gives students a wonderful introduction to new words! Using short but impactful activities, students will learn 15 new words each week. We will meet once a week to review all sections of each lesson weekly. Students must have their own copy of the 4th Edition Wordly Wise 3000 Book 4 workbook to participate in this class. Book 4 is typically for Grade 4 students, but any learner between 8-11 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 reading a story that uses all 15 words from the lesson. Lesson activities A-D are short, to keep students interested, and are often multiple-choice. Lesson Activity E consists of the reading passage for the week. Weekly Class Activities: * Correct previous week's homework answers from Activities B-D. * Read definitions and discuss each of the 15 NEW vocabulary words for the next lesson. * Teacher will model pronunciation and usage of the word including its part(s) of speech in example sentences. * Students and teacher will complete Activity A together and read the current week's reading passage aloud. * Play a Kahoot! game to check for comprehension and retention of word meanings.

Learning Goals
Students will broaden their learning horizons as they learn new words, discover how to use them in everyday language, and deepen their understanding of how we use words to communicate clearly and effectively. Confidence in vocabulary will often increase a student's proficiency in spelling and love of reading!
