Sage Ed., 1997. — 27 p.We, the designers of Word Web Vocabulary, are pleased that you will be using
our program. You will quickly realize that Word Web is not a new subject to be added to an already filled
curriculum but instead is the catalyst that will integrate and reinforce the contents of your Language Arts
curriculum from the elements of style, mechanics, spelling, grammar, figures of speech and research to the
correlation of words and concepts to literature — regardless of the grade level(s) of your students. In addition,
we believe Word Web will excite you and your students through its many graphics, special features and connections
to the real world.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONTENTS
Six lessons comprise a chapter, the first five of which introduce new words, while the sixth is a review. Each
lesson lasts one week. Therefore, the six chapters in each volume cover thirty-six weeks, the length of most
school years. The words related to a root or affix are at multiple levels and are coded. You and each student (and
perhaps the student’s parents) decide the level at which he or she should work. The inside front cover of each
book explains symbols used throughout the volume.
