The W.I.S.E. Guide
Wanda Sanseri¡¦s book is an indispensable part of this fantastic
program. The W.I.S.E. Guide has broken down the entire list of 2,000
spelling words into manageable, weekly lessons. Each spelling list
includes prepared, well-researched sentences, all the spelling
markings, and notes about pertinent spelling rules and word
derivatives. Mrs. Sanseri has incorporated spelling reinforcement
activities that teach the week¡¦s spelling words, review previously
taught words, reinforce spelling rules, develop composition skills,
and teach grammar and vocabulary including prefixes, suffixes,
plurals, punctuation, analogies, derivatives, verb conjugations, and
more! The W.I.S.E. Guide¡¦s extensive use of quotations from the
Bible, history, literature and poetry will enrich our child¡¦s
learning experience and will often whet the appetite or further
research. SWR and The W.I.S.E. Guide take the guesswork out of
teaching language arts, once for all.
