We use Word Wisdom by Zaner-Bloser to teach new vocabulary. This program focuses on unlocking the meaning of new words, processing these words through activities that reinforce word meanings, and applying these words in activities that access higher level thinking skills. There are nine unit of study, each one is broken into four parts. Three parts introduce new vocabulary and the fourth part is a review.
At the beginning of the year each student received their own workbook. This workbook is used as homework for your child to have independent daily practice with these words at home.
Additionally students can practice by going on Quizlet, where they can use flashcards and play games, such as Scatter, to memorize the new vocabulary in these units.
