A powerful curriculum for enhancing the vocabulary of younger students, Wordly Wise 3000, Grade 1 features instruction in 150 key challenging but appropriate vocabulary words. Teaching children in the ways they learn words most effectively-with direct and explicit oral vocabulary instruction--this program features read-aloud stories and poems which are included within the lesson. Two-week lesson plans in thematically-organized units continually reinforce words and concepts to ensure mastery. Teacher lesson plans include a material list with classroom supplies, page numbers for the appropriate concept cards, picture cards, student workbook pages, and blackline masters; a semi-scripted unit introduction; questions for each picture card; read-aloud story with bolded vocabulary words; and a daily lesson. The daily lesson cycles review and respond questions, extend & challenge activities which introduce additional words, comprehension checks, review, and assessments. Each lesson is also designed to include a 'take-home' reproducible activity sheet with additional practice opportunities that are tied to the unit theme. A pacing chart at the beginning provides explanations of each day's tasks; each day is designed to take 20-25 minutes. The included concept cards (12' x 14') and picture cards (5' x 7') help introduce key concepts and vocabulary words with the word/concept written on one side, and an illustration on the other. Both may be displayed around the schoolroom. This teacher's book is designed to be used with the sold-separately Wordly Wise 3000 Student Book, Grade 1.
