My Project

In 8th grade, students are at a critical stage in their academic development where having a strong vocabulary is essential for their success. Wordly Wise is an indispensable tool for 8th-grade students to improve their vocabulary.

I noticed that a lot of questions on tests given to my kids involved context clues and guessing the meaning of a word.

My students would miss these questions most times because they didn't understand the answer choices. My students are struggling with learning the definitions of high frequency words. Wordly wise can help with that. A rich vocabulary is crucial for academic achievement. As students progress through middle school and prepare for high school, they will encounter increasingly complex texts and assignments. Having a strong vocabulary will enable them to comprehend these texts more easily, perform better on standardized tests, and excel in various subjects.

Wordly Wise exposes students to a wide range of vocabulary words, including synonyms, antonyms, and words with multiple meanings. This exposure helps students develop a understanding of language and enhances their ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing. Wordly Wise helps students develop important literacy skills such as critical thinking, inference, and context clues. By learning how to decipher the meaning of unfamiliar words based on context, students become more independent readers and learners.

By using Wordly Wise regularly, students can expand their vocabulary, improve their reading comprehension, and develop the skills they need to succeed in middle school, high school, and beyond.
