Wordly Wise Works

I'm not sure what the big difference is between this and other vocabulary acquisition methods. I just know that this one works!! As other reviews have stated, I've never had to force my children to complete these assignments. They enjoy doing the small amount of work necessary to accomplish big results. Their vocabulary retention has improved dramatically. Each lesson presents 15 words and their definitions written in dictionary form. Then, five activities allow the student to use the word in Finding Meanings (choosing two phrases to form a sentence that correctly uses the word), Just the Right Word (improving sentences by replacing an italicized phrase with the correct vocabulary word), Applying Meanings (choosing one or all four choices in which a word's meaning is correctly applied), Word Relationships (circling antonyms/synonyms...), and Narrative (reading a narrative and then answering questions using the vocabulary words.)

The best thing since sliced bread!

I believe this book has the ability to change a child's perspective on learning vocabulary words. Not only is Wordly Wise fun, but it's a great challenge. It's a helpful tool and I would pass this book on to anyone who needs it. I am 17 years old and to this very day, I still remember the words I learned from Wordly Wise when I was 9 years old.

Great wa;y to educate

I found this book easy to use and the child found it fun. I didn't have to "get after them"to finish the lesson. Just the kind of book for me!!
