Wordly Wise 3000 Book 10 Test Book, 4th Edition

Wordly Wise 3000 is a research-based vocabulary workbook series for grades K to 12. In the series, the words used are commonly found in grade-level literature, leading to an improvement in reading comprehension. Between levels 2-12, your student will interact with the 3000 most-used words in the English language, building their grade-level mastery through definitions and a variety of activities.

Lessons are typically completed in 3-5 days per week and students can access free digital practice using Quizlet. This is an excellent resource for test prep, including prep for the ACT and SAT.

We offer both the current 4^th edition and the previous 3^rd edition. Below are some details about the Wordly Wise series that apply to grades 2-12. The K and 1^st grade levels have a different format (noted in the description for those levels).

• 20 lessons per level, plus 5 review lessons
• 15 words per lesson (fewer in lower levels) with dictionary-style definitions (origin, part of speech, concise definition, context)
• Crossword puzzles and other types of puzzles used for review
• Interesting word histories and common pitfalls provided

Students will need the Student Workbook and Answer Key. We offer a convenient package of 3 components: Student Workbook, Answer Key, and the Test Booklet (with test answers included). Teacher Resource Books are available for classroom use.

Wordly Wise 3000, 4^th Edition builds academic vocabulary in a convenient workbook format your student can complete independently. Short, daily lessons provide a variety of opportunities to learn the words, linking reading comprehension with vocabulary instruction.

Within each Wordly Wise vocabulary book:

• Determining Meanings shows dictionary-type definitions with sentences and explains word parts (prefixes, roots, suffixes).
• Making Connections helps students understand word relationships.
• Completing Sentences allows students to demonstrate their understanding.
• Vocabulary in Context is a story intended to strengthen a student’s ability to determine meaning based on usage and includes comprehension questions.
• Vocabulary Extension is found at the end of each lesson and focuses on just one word from that lesson in order to develop a deeper understanding and application.
• Levels 3-12 include 20 vocabulary lessons with 15 words per lesson. Level 2 has only 10 words per lesson.
• Free digital flashcards are available at Quizlet.com for every level.
• Convenient book sets available for every grade level.

Most students will use the consumable Student Workbook with a separate Answer Key (white). An optional Quiz Booklet (pink) is available with lesson tests, cumulative midterms and finals, and test answers. These 3 components make up our Wordly Wise 3000 4^th Edition Book Sets.

Teacher Resource Books are set up for classroom use and include guides for the lessons, reproducible tests and reviews, vocab activities (including word webs and semantic maps), options for group or individual vocabulary instruction, pacing options, and answer keys for the tests and workbooks.

Kindergarten and Book 1 are formatted differently with a required Teacher Pack and Student Book. These vocabulary-building activities include selecting the correct picture in the workbook while the parent reads a story aloud from the Teacher Pack. The unique, two-week lesson plans in these beginning books teach and reinforce words and concepts in 20-25 minutes a day. Teacher Packs for K and 1 include extensive lesson plans, Concept and Picture Cards, read-aloud stories and poems, extension and challenge activities, blackline masters, formal and informal vocabulary assessments for each lesson, assessment checklists, and more. These are technically 2nd edition books, although their covers match the 4th edition books.

What’s the difference between the 3^rd and 4^th editions? 

Word lists have remained the same in almost all levels. [Lesson 17 of Book 12 has a different story, but the word list remain the same; and lesson 12 of Book 9 has a different title for the story, but the story is actually the same as in the 3rd edition and uses the same word list.]

Levels 2-12 are a mixture of new activities and those similar to previous editions. Older edition answer keys and teacher resources will not work with the 4th edition Student Books. There are formatting changes as well in the Student Books, which have an updated look. Books 2 and 3 still have 15 lessons (10 words per lesson), and Books 4-12 still have 20 lessons (15 words per lesson).
