Three thousand carefully selected words taken from literature, textbooks, and SAT-prep books are the basis of this exciting vocabulary series that teaches new words through reading, writing, and a variety of exercises. Each lesson's alphabetized word list gives pronunciations, parts of speech, and concise definitions, and uses each word in a sentence. Interesting, engaging, and acting as a mnemonic anchor for the word, sentences are anything but boring! Comprehension of the vocabulary words is facilitated and reinforced through the five different exercises repeated in each lesson; new for the 2nd, expanded edition of Wordly Wise, reading first strategies as well as Greek and Latin roots are now included as well!
Wordly Wise 3000, Book contains 15 lessons with 150 words. Words taught in book 3 include: elect, frustrate, govern, haste, injure, pastime, rate, rig, spine, surrender, tentacle, tournament, vanish and volunteer. This 2nd edition book includes lessons 8-10 of the previous Wordly Wise 3000, Book B and all lessons in Wordly Wise 3000, Book C. New exercise 4--"word study" now replaces "Completing the Thought".

We really enjoy these books. They are an excellent supplement to teach vocabulary. We are currently using them for our spelling program, as well and it has been wonderful because my children can work through the sections independently. One caution, however, they are not written from a Christian world view, so preview/preread the comprehension passages.

Wordly Wise is the greatest vocabulary curriculum. My kids actually use the words they are studying that week when they speak (just for the fun of it)!

I began using Wordly Wise for my 2nd and 3rd graders last year, and am doing the same again this year. A great addition to just about any language arts program. Concise teaching tool!

My 8 year old son is really liking this workbook. He describes each daily lesson as being challenging enough that he has something to work for, but not so difficult nor long.
Language arts can be very mentally draining for him, so I'm thrilled that he is enjoying the lessons, and feeling empowered.

Our 8 yr old and 12 yr old look forward to doing these together and out loud. Both kids use the #3 book. Our family recommends these as a fun filler for your day with new words noticably being used right away.
