About this title

Synopsis

Help 7th grade students develop the skills they need to decode thousands of English words with Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots Book I.
Students who are capable of determining the meanings of words they've never seen before have a distinct advantage on challenging reading assignments, whether in the classroom or on standardized tests.
Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots helps you give your students this advantage. It shows students how thousands of words share common elements: roots, prefixes, and suffixes derived from Latin and Greek. If students understand what these common elements mean, they'll be better equipped to understand unfamiliar words at first sight.
Exercises for each lesson require students to use each new word several times in different contexts, answer multiple-choice questions after reading short passages, use their knowledge of roots, prefixes, and suffixes to define new words from context, and much more.
Why should you use Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots?
-- It saves you dozens of hours spent creating vocabulary lessons on your own.
-- You'll teach students the elements of thousands of words.
-- You'll give students practice determining the meanings of words from their contexts.
-- Your students will remember these words long after class is over.
