Program Preview

Word Intelligence provides a wealth of resources to teach vocabulary through a combination of explicit teaching of specific academic words and instruction in the use of context clues and morphemic analysis.

Two Editions Available: World and U.S.

• U.S. Edition features American history passages
• World Edition features world history passages

Each edition introduces students to 450 academic content words and is appropriate for students in grades 6–9. Students may benefit from using the program for two years and covering both editions. Word Intelligence is not intended to replace students’ grade-level history curriculum but can provide added support to it.

The editions may be used interchangeably, in conjunction with students’ grade-level history curriculum.
