Welcome to ClueWise Vocabulary!

When it comes to learning vocabulary, every new word is a mystery waiting to be solved. Clues are everywhere. Prefixes, roots, suffixes, and context clues can help students figure out what a word means. Even if they've never seen the word before, these clues can help them make an educated guess at what it means. The ability to do that builds fluency and comprehension, and that's what makes your students better readers.

Who says literacy instruction has to be a chore? Once you investigate ClueWise Vocabulary, you'll see how much more engaging middle school English/Language Arts can be.
