This curriculum goes beyond rote memorization by teaching students how to unlock meanings of unfamiliar words independently.

Research indicates children need to encounter a new word roughly 7 to 12 times to "own" it. This program ensures students encounter each target word at least seven times through reading, writing, and speaking activities.

The program combines direct instruction of high-utility academic words with strategic "word-solving" techniques like analyzing context clues and word parts.

The program by Scholastic is a research-based system designed to accelerate word growth in just 15 minutes a day. Key Features of the Grade 3 Program

For third-grade students, the transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" is a pivotal academic milestone. A robust vocabulary is the primary engine for this success, as research shows that reading comprehension is nearly impossible if a student does not understand at least 95% of the words in a text.
