These learning objectives informed the design of all of W.O.R.D.’s components—and, combined with the spiral curriculum design, W.O.R.D. allows students to continue sharpening their skills over time with new vocabulary. The What Do You Know? placement activity, the Mega Sort activity, and all of the Club House activities together actively require students to utilize various skills to successfully accomplish the objectives above. Students in Grades K–1 complete three activities per theme; those in Grades 2–5 have five activities.
The five Club House activities cover a range of learning objectives:
1. Wordy Workshop (all grade levels): Students complete a sentence by selecting the correct inflected ending, simple comparison, or tense. When they have built a sentence correctly, the product rolls off the assembly line.
Example of Grade 2 Wordy Workshop activity in the theme, “It’s My Job: Teach Me!”
