Wise Guide

Description

The WISE Guide for Spelling contains the companion spelling list of words for SWR and more! WISE stands for Words, Instructions, and Spelling Enrichments. This foundational vocabulary of 2000 core words are divided into manageable lessons with two pages of lesson plan ideas for each set of twenty words. By Wanda Sanseri

The Wise Guide is out of stock while we transition to stocking the new, 2024 edition which should be available mid-July.

What’s new? Honestly, nothing huge. Most of the updates are subtle and do not affect the functionality. The main reason for the 2024 update of the Wise Guide is reprinting by a new publisher. Along with a new face on the front cover, the back cover has been updated to include a handy introduction to the word list layout. The 2024 Wise Guide is compatible with the 2015 and 2016 SWR Teacher’s Manuals.

Internal changes are mostly updates in formatting. For example, in the Preliminaries before each word list, Phonograms, Rules, and Reference Pages now consistently appear in that order. Now that the Red (Primary) Learning Log contains a collection page for abbreviations and contractions, these Reference page reminders in the right hand side word notes are now bold.
