Well, there're some possibilities to do that.
First in my mind would be if the number of words is fixed, in your  
example three, to record a macro:

moveWordRight
moveWordLeftAndModifySelection
moveWordLeftAndModifySelection
moveWordLeftAndModifySelection


and bind it to any key equivalent

In general the macro will do:
1: place the caret at the end of the current word
2...4: expand the selection word by word
