Detailed Product Description

Word Roots: A1 empowers children to acquire an unlimited vocabulary, preparing them for testing and higher education.

Description and Features

Word Roots teaches students the meanings of Latin 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 students' vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing.

For each lesson students first learn the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Then they:

• Divide known and unknown words into their elements or assemble elements to form whole words.
• Match word parts or whole words to their definitions by analyzing their meanings.
• Apply their new vocabulary in sentences.

Teaching Support
Includes a Pretest/Posttest, answers, and a dictionary of words derived from Latin roots.

 

Rummy Roots: There are 4 different card games in one deck. Each game (or level) is designed to be fun and stress-free for children and adults alike!

Pre-Roots is played like "GO FISH". It teaches the English meanings to the 42 Greek and Latin roots included in Rummy Roots and More Roots. We have chosen the most familiar roots to give confidence to even the youngest of players. (Example: Micro, Phone, etc.) Alphabetizing skills are practiced in this game.

Level 1 is played by combining two Greek or Latin root cards together to form English words. (Example: Auto + Graph = Autograph) Players become familiar with Dictionary Guide Words in the Roots Word Lists and are introduced to the vocabulary words used in 1, 2 and 3.

Level 2 continues combining roots together to form English words. The Stump Card is used to the "Roots Dictionaries". In this level players learn the definitions of 2 root combinations included in Rummy Roots and More Roots.

Level 3 is played similar to "Rummy". Players now include 3 root card combinations from the Roots and More Roots Dictionaries. (Example: Auto + Bios + Graph) To stretch Players from familiar words to those of higher difficulty, players at this level may "steal" cards from opponents whenever possible and receive double points!
