Scholastic W.O.R.D. supercharges vocabulary acquisition and deepens reading comprehension in a new and engaging way. W.O.R.D. ensures that students in Grades K–5 make meaningful connections between words and how they work, while building background knowledge through cross-curricular themes. Designed to grow with and challenge students, the deep word knowledge and skills they acquire in W.O.R.D. empower them to become intelligent, expressive, and independent thinkers of tomorrow.
Dr. Elfrieda (Freddy) Hiebert analyzed over 10,000 children’s texts to uncover the 2,500 morphological word families that make up 90% of the words students will encounter.
