Description

A strong vocabulary is essential for academic success and effective communication in everyday life. Wordly Wise 3000 employs a contextual approach to teach students how to approach unfamiliar words by identifying similarities, using them in context, breaking them down, and looking them up. This series selects 3,000 words from literature, textbooks, and SAT-prep books, forming a comprehensive vocabulary curriculum. Wordly Wise 3000 Book 11 consists of 20 lessons, each containing 15 carefully chosen words. The curriculum focuses on equipping students with strategies to decipher words they’ll encounter in various texts and tests. It emphasizes comprehension through Greek and Latin word studies, exploring prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, parts of speech, and analogies. These exercises enhance reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. The third edition retains the same word lists as the second edition but updates the passages and questions following them, aligning them with The Lexile Framework for Reading. Note that the 3rd Edition is not compatible with 2nd Edition teacher’s guides and resources. Wordly Wise 3000 Book 11 covers words like duplicitous, eclectic, ecumenical, impugn, inimical, parsimonious, perspicacious, queasy, requiem, retribution, salubrious, tactile, triumvirate, undulate, vicissitudes, and more. This edition features two-tone pages and is available for purchase by homeschools only.
