Wordly Wise is a vocabulary program of 3,000 words that turn up in grade-level books, school subjects and tests. Wordly Wise 3000 is print, with a student book per grade from Book K to Book 12, and Wordly Wise i3000 is an online version for 2nd to 12th grade with self-paced, automatically scored practice. Each lesson gives definitions and example sentences, practice on word meanings and parts, a reading passage using every word, and a test.

What it does well

One book per grade gives a steady, predictable vocabulary routine through all of school.
Each lesson ends with a reading passage that uses every new word, so words are met in context.
Practice covers prefixes, roots and suffixes, which helps with words beyond the list.
The online version scores practice automatically and offers each passage at two reading levels.

Watch for

The publisher's shop hides prices behind a school login, so a family has to call or buy through another seller.
The online i3000 is set up like a classroom: the parent creates a teacher account and a class for each child.
Some activities are written for pairs or groups, such as turn-and-talk, which a single child at home can't do as written.

It fits

A family that wants a steady, workbook-style vocabulary course to run beside reading and writing, year after year.

It doesn’t fit

A family that prefers learning words through living books and conversation rather than lists and tests.

Lists it is on

What we read, and how we label

Every fact on a card was read on the publisher's own website on the date shown, and the page it came from is linked. A fact we could not confirm there is left out. Costs are for one child and one year of the main package, as the publisher's page showed them that day; prices and sales change. Method and format are the publisher's own description where it gives one. The only thing we say about religion is one label, secular or faith-based, given by the rule above; where the publisher's pages don't settle it, the card has no label.
