Word Wisdom is a helpful resource for students in 8th grade. It allows them to understand new words and phrases in context through the use of context clues and analysis of word parts.
Students will activate their prior knowledge, use context clue strategies, and analyze roots to interpret unfamiliar words in any context. The words chosen for each level are Tier Two academic words that have been selected based on word frequency studies. These words are unlikely to be learned through conversation but are commonly found in written text across various subjects.
This student book contains a year's worth of lessons that will enable students to learn the meaning of 270 new vocabulary words. The book is divided into 9 thematic units, with 30 words per unit. Each unit features individual lessons that include a reading passage, a context clues strategy, and exercises to unlock and process the meanings of the words. At the end of each unit, there is a review section and a practice test.
This Grade 4 course consists of 9 units that cover various themes such as sight, the Earth, health, behavior, movement, appearance, language/writing, good/bad, place, and position. The concepts covered include using context clues, learning specific Greek and Latin roots (such as cur, sur, fortu, plea, serv), developing reference skills, and more.
