Wordly Wise 3000 Book 4
by Kenneth Hodkinson Sandra Adams Erika Hodkinson<p>You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby. At first, you learned them only by hearing other people talk. Now that you are a reader, you have another way to learn words. Obviously, it's important to know what words mean, but lots of times, we think we can get away without knowing some of them as we read. This could cause a problem. Say you are reading the directions for a new game. You know most of the words in the sentence you're reading. Then you stop for a word you don't recognize: Please do not touch the blegmy or your score will be lost. You ask yourself, "What is a blegmy?" At first you think, "Well, it's only one word." But then you think, "What is it that I'm not supposed to touch?" All of a sudden, knowing what that one word means is important! <p>Clearly, the more words you know, the better your understanding of everything you read. Wordly Wise 3000 will help you learn a lot of words, but it can't teach you all the words you'll ever need. It can, however, help guide your learning of new words on your own.</p>
