During this course, students will gain confidence in their listening speaking, and reading abilities. Students will learn vocabulary words vital to increased growth in their word base.  The goal is to internalize these words.  Students will be made more aware of the words in their world and be able to add them to their normal spoken and written vocabulary.  

Teaching vocabulary to beginning readers has been shown to be very important to the learner's future academic life. As a retired teacher of 33 years, I have taught this same Wordly Wise curriculum for grades four and five in a public classroom for many years.  I feel excited and comfortable to be sharing this knowledge with students.  I truly feel if the student is interested, and will complete the work, this class will make a huge difference in the life of the student!  It just may be a game changer!
