Wordly Wise 3000 Grade K - 2nd Edition Paperback – Student Edition, January 1, 2007

I taught this program to my daughter when she was in kindergarten. My son, who is two years younger, sat in. They both really enjoyed it. The stories are cute. The vocabulary cards are colorful and sturdy. I'm reusing it now with my kindergartener and everything still looks brand new. If you have a child who struggles to learn new words, this is a great program. For the average kid, I don't think it is necessary or worth the time and expense because most of the words would be learned without using it. My current kindergartener is very bright. I'm using it with her only because 1) I have it and 2) I know she'll enjoy it. For her, I have condensed it to once a week instead of 3 times a week. I wouldn't suggest this with a child who struggles.You absolutely need the teacher guide. You cannot use this program without it. It is completely different from the other Wordly Wise books except Grade 1, but that is what makes it work for kids this young. It is fun and engaging and does not require reading.

I want the solution book to be included in the book.It's too expensive for me to buy one more book for the solution.

I bought this book for my son after a friend recommended it after using the Wordly Wise program for homeschooling her kids. He and I were going to work on this together this summer before he starts Kindergarten in the fall. I wish I would have taken the rest of the reviews seriously, because this book is pretty much useless without the teacher resource book, which at roughly $60 makes a very expensive summer workbook. We're doing the few pages we can without using the book, but I'm really disappointed.

Arrived fast and was exactly what I needed. I look forward to doing more business with them in the future.

shipped fast, as described - very pleased!

I love what these books offer---except they are an old edition and teacher manuals are no longer available. I am creating stories to go with the vocabulary lists and accompanying pictures. Not a huge deal but I'm probably not doing as well as the teacher manual would suggest. I'm also making it up as I go, for the other pages as well, due to not knowing exactly what is needed from the student on the follow-up pages.The curriculum itself however, I will keep using, as it is brightly colored and attractive and makes vocabulary fun for kids! It follows a format of three pictures with a vocabulary list, and what I would assume, would be a story in the teacher's manual to put that list into every day language. This is followed up with smaller pictures of the story just read and the student cutting and pasting them in order. Following this are additional worksheet pages, such as drawing a picture with some of the vocabulary words just learned or circling one of two choices to show the correct illustration for the vocabulary word dictated.These are keepers for our home school curriculum, I just will make sure that I order the current edition that is out, next year, so I can get the teacher manual as well and teach the lessons to their full potential.

good product and fast shipping

This was not what the description says. Yes it is a book but it does not tell you that you need a teacher guild too. I was under the impression I just needed this book and it it would all be included with each lesson. It is not that great for the price and there are better books out there. A friend told me about this one so I tried it but it's not for me and my kids.
