As students come to understand the connections and patterns within the English language, they become independent readers, better spellers, and more critical thinkers in all content areas!
This word study resource teaches students the most common prefixes, suffixes, and roots and fosters a deeper understanding of the English language. Students enthusiastically explore the fascinating world of morphology by learning how to analyse word structure and use context clues to find meaning. Systematic, structured, explicitly taught lessons unlock the keys to the Greek, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon origins of words and build vocabulary knowledge.
Featuring nearly 100 lessons in structural analysis (morphology), this program focuses on vocabulary and fluency development. Students learn to decode words through morphemes (suffixes, prefixes, and roots) and to understand common prefixes and roots. Students also study analogies, related word families, and synonyms and antonyms. Detailed lesson plans provide structured, systematic instruction that helps students grasp new words and their meanings with ease.
The Teacher’s Guide with CD-ROM covers word histories, analogies, word relationships, synonyms, and antonyms using instructional pages, games, activities, and assessments.
