Where Words Come From: Textbook from DK Learning can be used as a word origin reference or as part of your ELA. Colorful pages with whimsical illustrations invite children to flip through the book cover to cover! I like the logical organization and sequence. Use with or without the consumable/reproducible Activities book. You may like the fun flip book too - Morpheme-A-Day! Word roots are great for building vocabulary and spelling skills, which in turn helps with reading comprehension! The morpheme maps in the back are especially clear at showing us word families. 175 pages, hardcover. ~Sara

Category Description for Where Words Come From
Where Words Come From by DK Learning uses colorful illustrated animals to teach morphemes, the smallest part of a word that tells us something. You will find a range of word families from Latin, Greek, even Old English origins! It’s a fun way to teach vocabulary, with benefits in spelling and reading comprehension too. Learn a root word and see the range of vocabulary words connected to the root with various prefixes and suffixes. Since this is made for elementary students, descriptions are brief and age-appropriate. I like it for an introduction to word families.
The 3 components can be used separately or together. There is a hardcover Textbook, a consumable reproducible Activities book with puzzles, and a stand-up flip book called Morpheme-A-Day.
