A few words on studying for the Wordly Wise Vocab Tests:
Some students are struggling with these and from what I've gathered from surveying the class, not enough students are spending some time studying these words every day. This is very important because the test doesn't merely require students to memorize the definition, they really need to know the word (synonyms, antonyms, how it is used in a sentence, etc.).What I have suggested to students is that they focus on five words on Monday, another five on Tuesday, the last five on Wednesday, and review all the words on Thursday. This way they can get deeper into studying the words and it's not overwhelming because they only focus on five at a time.
I hope this helps! But I cannot express enough that just cramming the words the night before will not help you. You may get away with now and again, but sooner or later it'll catch up to you!
