Word Building—the foundation for success begins with Barbara Gylys and the Body Systems Approach.
The med term approaches and how they differ…
- Most med terms books teach by memorization—the whole word approach.
- Memorize vocabulary and then try to recognize word patterns.
- Gylys uses the word-buildingapproach.
- First learn the patterns of medical words before you learn the vocabulary.
- Gylys takes a common sense approach, by introducing word elements first:
- Roots
- Combining forms
- Suffixes
- Prefixes
- She covers them one by one, breaking down each word part.
- Common English word elements are presented…
- This familiarity makes it easier for students to learn and break apart and build words.
- Students can use their understanding of word parts to decipher vocabulary.
- Mnemonic devices, interactive activities (in the book and on the CD) make word-building fun and this in turn increases retention…no more tedious memorization, students learn by breaking down and rebuilding words!
“From my years of teaching, I found it was much easier for students to learn word parts directly associated with a body system (or specialty area), and this has been the key to my approach in all of my texts and software products.”
—Barbara A. Gylys
