This review is from: A Vocabulary Workbook: Prefixes, Roots , and Suffixes for Esl Students (Paperback)
What a fantastically enlightening and helpful book! As an English educator I must admit I was stunned at how narrow the scope of my knowledge was in this area.....and this book showed me! My ESL students (and secretly myself) have found it absolutely invaluable in decifering the meanings of unknown words from both in and out of context. I found that it made my students think more about the meanings of parts of words rather than looking at the whole word as a memorizable item. They began to process the words more and therefore retention became higher. If you teach ESL or are an educator, you NEED this book.

Book review of A Vocabulary Workbook: Prefixes, Roots, and S,
By Cheng-ji Lai (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Vocabulary Workbook: Prefixes, Roots , and Suffixes for Esl Students (Paperback)
Cheng-ji Lai (Paul) The building up of vocabulary has been the first and last difficulty every language learner must encounter. The great majority of Chinese learners of English tend to find it harder to learn an ever-expanding English vocabulary. Most of them have tried but failed to overcome this difficulty. By teaching them prefixes, suffixesand roots, it will help the learners to better understand the words because it tells how these words are spelled and combined, what they mean, and where they come from. Also,by teaching English vocabulary learners prefixes, suffixes and roots, learners can integrate easily the concepts and meanings of the words while they split up the combination of the words. Furthermore, they can read the prefixes to assume the basic meanings of the words. On the contrary, they also can associate the ideas of the meanings by reading through the suffixes. With following same set of pattern, learners learn by analogy so as to bear these vocabularies in minds for long and easily. Th successful use of this book with the practice of the exercise will benefit learners step by step. So, as an ESL teacher of vocabulary can choose this book as an reference.
