This Language Arts class will use Wordly Wise 3000 book for vocabulary. Carefully selected words taken from literature, textbooks, and SAT-prep books are the basis of Wordly Wise 3000, our vocabulary series that teaches new words through reading, writing, and a variety of exercises. Each lesson's alphabetized word list gives pronunciations, parts of speech, and concise definitions, and uses each word in a sentence. Interesting, engaging, and acting as a mnemonic anchor for the word, sentences are anything but boring! The book has 20 lessons with five exercises in each, to facilitate and reinforce comprehension of the vocabulary words. Wordly Wise provides students with strategies for reading as well as Greek and Latin word studies with prefixes, suffixes, parts of speech, synonyms, antonyms, and analogies.
Students will also be presented with a lesson from Spelling Works. There will be a new spelling rule every two weeks and students will complete weekly work sheets from this Scholastic book.
Course Expectations: Students will complete exercises in book every week. There may be additional assignments each week and occasional tests.
