A strong vocabulary is associated with proficiency in reading comprehension. Weekly Word Roots takes a wide range of holidays and special occasions within the calendar year and uses them as a springboard into building vocabulary. The words and their roots arise from something all students and teachers experience in common: the day itself. Use one lesson per week and take about 10 minutes to build academic vocabulary and reading comprehension skills. The first page of each lesson gives information on the word root. One black and white, consumable activity page accompanies each lesson plus optional extension activities. The answer key to activity exercises is found in the back of the workbook. The pages are perforated. 128 pgs, pb.
