I’ve heard fairly good reviews for Wordly Wise products. However this year we’re going to be working through Wordly Wise workbooks just to include a little more vocabulary focused work. Up until now we’ve just been reviewing words that come with our spelling program and in our Abeka readers. This upcoming year will be the first year I’m introducing a more formal vocabulary program into our homeschool. Today we’ll be discussing vocabulary curriculum! We will try something else, but that’s not a reflection on the quality of the program.Good morning all! Welcome to another homeschool curriculum forum. In the end, it just become a list to memorize, keep in mind long enough to get through the unit, then forget. Maybe it would work better for other families. The online resources are fantastic, and the word lists are wonderful as well. Wordly Wise had become busy work for them. I could have added more review, but ultimately, their hearts just weren’t in it. This pretty much defeated the entire point of the program. They remembered the words just long enough to get through the unit. Going back over the material from a few units back just drew blanks. I found that after moving on from a unit, my children just weren’t retaining the words. The one problem we had with Wordly Wise, however, may not have even been the fault of the curriculum itself. This is solid support on the publisher’s part.
WORD BUILD VS WORDLY WISE ONLINE CODE
You don’t even need a code or account to access them the games are free for anyone. My son enjoyed them, and they were a great addition to our review time. The games weren’t too thrilling, but for a free tool, I can’t complain. He found this preferable to reading the dry, dictionary-like entries. My son enjoyed listening to the word lists at the start of each new unit. In addition to the book, Wordly Wise does offer online word lists and games to practice vocabulary. My oldest did enjoy reading them, and most were informative and interesting. Despite having what seemed like a random list of words, the passages were focused and didn’t force the words into the writing. The reading passages were also well done. My kid’s didn’t love doing them (some were pretty dry), but they usually did them without complaint. They offered good practice of the words and were easy to understand. The exercises that followed the word lists were fairly solid. This isn’t to say that no new words were introduced, of course. I did find that to be a unique feature of Wordly Wise, most vocabulary programs seem to simply focus on teaching new words, and less on refining use of known words. The vocabulary lists were not particularly challenging for my students, however, they did introduce other meanings to words they already knew. I can say that what we saw of Wordly Wise was good. My review will focus on those levels only. We used Wordly Wise book 2 and 3, so by no means have we used the entire program. For my review of Vocabu-Lit, read my review here. The two programs are almost identical, with only a few differences in execution. I found Wordly Wise to be very similar to another vocabulary program, Vocabu-Lit. Each student book costs around 15$, and an optional teacher’s book is available with tests and answer keys. The unit concludes with a reading passage containing all the words for the unit. Each book contains 15-20 units, each with a vocabulary list, followed by worksheets, games, and exercises. Wordly Wise 3000 is vocabulary program for grades 2 through 12.
