Category Description for Zaner-Bloser Word Wisdom

Zaner-Bloser Word Wisdom is a straight-forward program helps stu­dents learn vocabulary by teaching strat­egies, word roots, and applying the words in context. In each level, the nine thematic units follow a 4-week progression: learning context clue strategies; Latin/Greek Roots; reference skills; and review/practice tests. In weeks 1-3, students will read a passage with ten new vocabulary words, learn strategies, and then use the new words. Each week begins with a pretest, then learning and practicing new vocabulary through activities and on Day 5, applying words with high-level thinking skill tasks. Week 4 reviews all 30 words learned with practice and post-tests. 

The Student Edition consumable worktexts provide all word lists and activities except for tests. Teacher Editions are wraparound vol­umes with answers, tests, and enrichment/ ELL activities. Online teacher resources are not available to homeschoolers. The Word Wisdom app is available at your App store for additional reinforcement. Grades 7-8 (2013) Teacher Editions include Common Core alignments and additional stu­dent resources on CD-ROM.
