The Worldly Wise program is a system that expands the students’ understanding of the English Language. The Worldly Wise 3000 approach is to use interactive activities, engagement, and group discussion in order to reinforce vocabulary, sentence structure, and grammar comprehension. Students will read age-appropriate literature that encourages them to asks questions about what they read, spot new words they can add to their ever-growing vocabulary and knowledge base. Difficulty will differ with each grade level: While K-1 will focus on building a solid foundation of the English Language, Grades 2-12 will focus on delving deeper into English Language roots, and academic-based learning and testing such as SAT, PSAT and ACT. Worldly Wise is a profound tool that solidifies the foundation of the English Language and helps to reinforce and build on the skills learned at an early age.
