I was wondering which you thought was better....the original Wordly Wise 3000 or the new one that came out this year? The store has the old ones still in stock so I was trying to decide which one to purchase. Thanks!

I used the old style ones in school myself and I'm often told that I have an amazing vocabulary. If it isn't broke, why fix it?

 

I have tried the new style for one level and we didn't like it, so I am switching back to the old ones.

We have been using the WW 3000 copyright 2000

This is the most excellent vocabulary teacher I've seen on the market - I've looked at the ones that are older & prefered the 3000 series - it seemed to hit more levels of learning style & more thorough to me. The website has a list of specific differences if you haven't seen that yet. What I found most appealing about the newest series (3000 2nd edition) was the Greek and Latin word root exercises. Also there is a K and 1st book. I haven't seen one in person yet, but I'm most interested to see it, the website overview has got my attention!

One change I thought was interesting was the dropping of the Annie Oakley story for The Forty-Niners story???:001_huh: Both are good, perhaps the 49ers story is better history.

The Word Study section that is replacing the Completing the Thought is the Greek & Latin root study. I liked the Com. the Thought section for the kids to learn how to use the word or form of the word in a sentence.

You can go to the website and download the curriculum overview. I found it most helpful. The new K-1 books looked excellent!:D I'm going to order my first grader one to get her started!

I'm sure that as each one looks over the website most questions will be answered. I'm certainly open and eager to looking at the 2nd edition!
