New Version!
How did we improve our award-winning series? We created more effective activities to help students learn the meaning and spelling of roots, prefixes, and suffixes commonly used in English. Learning these word elements dramatically improves spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words. Next we added more than 100 new vocabulary words along with activities that focus on using these words in context to help students incorporate each word into their vocabulary and retain the correct spelling. Finally, we added lesson reviews to make sure students retain what is taught in the lessons. Our new and improved Word Roots books will add hundreds of words to your students' vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing.
Each lesson has the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes used to form the vocabulary words. The activities following the lessons include:
A. Spelling and Defining Words - Match each given word to its correct definition.
B. Completing the Sentence - Complete the sentence by choosing the correct word.
C. Defining the Word Parts - Define the word parts.
D. Writing Sentences - Write sentences using the words in the lesson.
E. (optional) Creative Writing
Teaching Support
The books include a pretest/posttest, lesson reviews, answers, and a dictionary of the prefixes, roots, suffixes, and vocabulary words derived from Latin and/or Greek word elements.
Category Description for Word Roots
Word Roots is based on the premise that the best way to efficiently and effectively learn vocabulary (and aid spelling as well as reading comprehension) is by learning different word elements – roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Word Roots covers both Greek and Latin roots, these being the foundation of much of the English language.
Each lesson covers one or more root words plus several
prefixes and suffixes, giving definitions of each. The student then works
through a list of derivatives, matching definitions with the words. Then the
new words are used in sentences, with the student deciding what is the best
word choice for each sentence. Students will learn challenging vocabulary words, with the program offering optional creative writing suggestions as well.
A pre-test and a post-test help to evaluate progress. Each book also includes a complete answer key plus a dictionary of Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The workbooks are reproducible for one classroom or homeschool.
