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.
