WordBuild teaches students how to build words by first covering prefixes and suffixes in Elements and then examining the common root words in Foundations. Add in instructive interaction coupled with games, grids, and squares, and it’s easy to see why this is the vocabulary program of choice for Analytical Grammar and has been favorably reviewed by Cathy Duffy, Janice Campbell and others. At first glance the program seems a bit pricey, but the quality and effectiveness make it a good value.
The key is the instructive interaction; this program requires more from the teacher but it gives you all the tools. The Teacher Editions are clearly laid out with ready-to-go, daily, detailed lessons that provide what to teach, when to interact with the Student Activity Book, when/what to discuss, and what to demonstrate with the answers right in the lessons. Daily lessons take about 15 minutes, with built-in review and reinforcement. Also included are weekly Check-Ups (Assessments), a Mid-Term and a Final Assessment, and all answer keys. The squares, stair steps, and comprehension questions are all in the Student Activity Book. Each course is considered a one-year course with 36 units.
