Word Wisdom: Unlocking Vocabulary in Context — Theater Edition

Word Wisdom: Unlocking Vocabulary in Context is a research-based vocabulary program from Zaner-Bloser that helps students unlock the meaning of new words using context clues and by analyzing meaningful word parts (roots, prefixes, and suffixes).

Developed by Dr. Jerry Zutell, the program is organized into nine thematic units of 30 words each, focusing on "Tier Two" academic words that appear often in written text across subjects but are unlikely to be picked up through everyday conversation.

• Context-driven approach to unlocking word meanings while reading
• Teaches analysis of roots, prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, and antonyms
• Integrates vocabulary with reading comprehension and writing skills
• A year's worth of lessons covering 270 new vocabulary words
