Vocabulary:
Wordly Wise Units are completed weekly. We complete approximately eight lessons each nine weeks; three to four
lessons each literary unit. Students complete Exercises A-D independently in class and we go over it as a class. Students
read the Exercise E story and then independently complete a fill in the blank sheet for a classwork grade the day prior to
the quiz. Weekly vocabulary unit quizzes are 15 multiple choice questions using synonyms, antonyms, least likely, most
likely, and best suited style questions. The last five questions are multiple choice questions focused on the standardized
testing skills of analogies and word application.
