Students learn the sources of hundreds of vocabulary words with this new, multi-year program. Unlike many programs that depend on rote memorization, Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots incorporates a variety of techniques to teach students the skills they need to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words, while also expanding sight vocabulary. Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots reinforces new words through: * a format that capitalizes on word families * associative hooks and visuals to jog the memory * building language-analysis skills * exercises designed for maximum retention Many vocabulary programs are focused on preparing students for a test from week to week, but Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots teaches skills that they can use for a lifetime. * Teaches word analysis skills by focusing on root words. * Additional notes on word and phrase histories build interest * Humorous visual mnemonics reinforce recall. Book One is recommended for 7th Grade. This is a student classroom edition. Tests and Answer Keys are available through the publisher but are only sold to schools and teachers.

This review is from: Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots: Book 1 (Paperback)
We looked for several study books on the market and found this series to be the best. It is highly recommended by a wise, dedicated, highly-educated teacher at our local high school!

I bought this book for my grandchildren, who are in Junior High School, to help with word morphology.
I have never found a better book. In the district i used to teach in, this was the text given to all junior high students, and we always scored well above the national averages on " tests"

Great Summer Project,

This review is from: Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots: Book 1 (Paperback)
My twins used this book before starting seventh grade. It was part of the material provided to them to use during summer work. They worked thrity minutes each day. This book was worked on in order. They did not skip around in it. The lessons are short and simple. Vocabulary is provided with definitions. The workbook pages are simple to do yet provide a nice challenge for the student. It was a great foundational exercise for the Latin class they are taking in public school this year as seventh graders.
