Wordly Wise 3000 3rd Edition Test Book 9

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.

In the 3rd edition of Wordly Wise 3000 book numbers correspond with typical grade levels (unlike the original edition, Wordly Wise, and the first edition of the 3000 series where it was necessary to add three to the book number to get the grade level). Book 2 includes all the lessons in Book A (1st edition) and lessons 1-7 from Book B (1st edition). It has 15 lessons and 150 vocabulary words. Book 3 includes lessons 8-10 from Book B (1st edition) and all lessons from Book C (1st edition). It also has 15 lessons with 150 words and contains some Greek and Latin root exercises. Students learn 300 new words a year in Books 4-12. Books K and 1 were new with the 2nd edition of the 3000 program, and work just as well with the 3rd edition.

The Student Workbooks contain 20 lessons each with fifteen words. Each lesson includes a Word List with complete dictionary type of entry information, a Finding Meanings exercise (choose two phrases to form a sentence that correctly uses a word), the Just the Right Word exercise (replace a phrase with a single word), an Applying Meanings exercise (using words in context), a Word Study exercise (covers synonyms, antonyms, suffixes, prefixes, and analogies), and a Passage (classic and contemporary authors) with follow-up questions.

The Teacher Resource Books include teacher's guides for the lessons, reproducible tests and reviews, vocabulary activities (including word webs and semantic maps), options for group or individual instruction, pacing options, and answer keys for the tests and Student Book exercises. Tests are designed to prepare students for standardized tests; the format is largely multiple-choice. There are tests for each lesson as well as cumulative midterms and finals. At the upper levels (grade 9-12), each test also features a SAT Sneak Preview section in which additional practice is given in preparation for standardized testing. If you don't think an intensive, thorough teacher guide is necessary, non-reproducible Test Books (with answers) and Answer Keys (for student workbooks) are available separately.

Have an auditory learner? We offer Audio CD sets that correlate to levels 2-12 (no longer available for some levels). These include recordings of each word list to aid pronunciation, along with definitions and comprehension questions, and all reading passages. The number of CDs in each grade level set varies.

The structure of the Kindergarten and 1st Grade Books are a bit different. These vocabulary-building activities include selecting the correct picture in the workbook while the parent reads a story aloud from the teacher pack. Concept and Picture Cards introduce key concepts and words, and the activities prepare students for the kind of content-area reading that they will encounter in later grades. 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 assessments for each lesson, assessment checklists and more. At the Kindergarten and 1st Grade levels, these Teacher Packs are a "must-have."
