Over 60% of the English language contains words derived from Greek and Latin roots.
How does a microphone aid a small voice? When you first started school, why were your books called primers?
Vocabulary from Classical Roots goes far beyond answering questions like these. Students transition from learning to read…to reading to learn by developing a useful, transferable technique for making sense of unfamiliar words.
Ideal for students mastering a growing content-area vocabulary in social studies, science, and mathematics—predominantly multisyllabic Greek and Latin-based words—Vocabulary from Classical Roots helps students unlock the meanings of literally thousands of words, and gives them the skills to do so throughout their lives.
Use the student books to teach valuable vocabulary strategies as well as word etymologies. Assign exercises as homework, small group work, or incorporate them into whole class lessons. |
