Three thousand carefully selected words taken from literature, textbooks, and SAT-prep books are the basis of this exciting 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! Comprehension of the vocabulary words is facilitated and reinforced through the five different exercises repeated in each lesson; new for the 2nd, expanded edition of Wordly Wise, reading first strategies as well as Greek and Latin roots are now included as well! Wordly Wise 3000, Book 4 contains twenty lessons, and includes 14 new words, along with new exercises. This 2nd edition book replaces the previous Wordly Wise 3000Book 1, Grade 4. A new reading passage The Forty-Niners replaces Annie Oakley and Word Study replaces the previous exercise "Completing the Thought". 167 two-tone pages, softcover.
