1.0 out of 5 stars hopeless unless you have the teacher resource book, February 22, 2010

This review is from: Wordly Wise 3000: Book 1 Systematic, Sequential Vocabulary Development (Paperback)

I bought this and I don't know how I am going to use it because I don't have the teacher resource book. It is way too costly to buy so I am going to have to make up my own stories that go with the lessons or give this book away. I wish I had known beforehand that I needed an accompanying book to go with the lesson book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, December 26, 2009

This review is from: Wordly Wise 3000: Book 1 Systematic, Sequential Vocabulary Development (Paperback)

This book is completely useless without the teacher resource package (which is sold for more than US$200). Don't buy it.

This review is from: Wordly Wise 3000: Book 1 Systematic, Sequential Vocabulary Development (Paperback)

Yes, Wordly Wise requires instructor materials. I appreciate being able to purchase the workbooks on Amazon, as they are less expensive than the ones on the publisher's website. While I also enjoy First Language Lessons (or perhaps the other reviewer was referring to The Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading) and Writing With Ease, I don't feel a comparison can be accurately drawn. Wordly Wise is a vocabulary building curriculum, while FLL is a grammar curriculum, OPGTR is a reading curriculum, and WWE is a writing curriculum. Taking those things into consideration, I feel Wordly Wise does exactly what it purports to do. My children love WW3000. In my opinion, it takes a potentially mind-numbing pursuit, and makes it fun.
