Teach new vocabulary with effective etymology-based instruction.

The best writers, the most advanced readers, and the most successful students have two things in common: a rich vocabulary and the skills to decode new words instantly. Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots gives students the tools they need to acquire these traits.

Based on research-proven strategies, this comprehensive program shows middle and high school students how thousands of words share common roots, prefixes, and suffixes derived from Latin and Greek.

Exercises in each unit have students practice using vocabulary in context, infer information based on a word’s meaning, and define unfamiliar words using their knowledge of word roots.

Once students understand what these common Latin and Greek elements mean, they'll be equipped to decipher unfamiliar words at first sight.
