Better Reading And Decoding Skills
According to national standards, students in grades four to twelve
must now be able to demonstrate their knowledge of how to use common Greek and Latin roots for analyzing
the meaning of complex words.
Lovely! Isn't this just what we needed, one more requirement from the government
that our children will be tested for yearly? Yet surprisingly enough, it is one that makes
sense. Children who have a solid grasp of word roots are bound to be children with
better reading comprehension skills, primarily because they have acquired the ability
to decode words. But regardless of the benefit, you're probably not looking for another
task. In that case, you will appreciate the Word Roots series. It will teach your
children the meanings of Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes of words commonly
used in English. With reproducible pages, the entire family can be prepared for
any assessment tests their state throws at them.

Word Roots teaches children the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes commonly used in English. Learning word elements dramatically improves spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words. Word Roots will add hundreds of words to your child's vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing.
Includes teaching suggestions and answers.
