Website – Though we haven’t used the Wordly Wise 3000 website, there is one and there are review games for each lesson (and each book) on it! In writing this, I found that they also read aloud the word lists, which is perfect for struggling readers (especially those with learning disabilities).With 15 lessons (each with 5 – 6 exercises), it is very possible to do this book in one school year. It may not be right, but if I plan that we can and then we can’t, I practically get hives over it. Appropriate Length – I sometimes stress when we can’t finish a whole book in a school year.Increased vocabulary – This is probably obvious, but since we are studying new words, they will often try to use some of their new vocabulary in conversation.Also, because many exercises are the same format, they know what to expect when given directions. Directions are clear and easy for kids to follow. Independent work – I have my boys (though they are one grade apart) in the same book, and I let them work together on Wordly Wise 3000.We just need that kind of flexibility sometimes. The kids still seem to get just about as much out of it. Can be shortened – If we don’t have time to do all of the exercises for a word list, I don’t feel like I have cheated the kids if we do three of the exercises, instead of five, for instance. ![]() ![]() From simple matching to reading it in passages to crossword puzzles, words are more easily remembered and applied. A variety of exercises – Because Wordly Wise 3000 uses a variety of types of exercises in the workbook to help understand and apply meaning, it can meet the needs of a variety of learners.
