Description
Just as words are broken up phonetically in order to pronounce them, they can be broken into pieces to reveal the meaning of the word. Knowing word roots is an important part of literacy. Each lesson holds four pages which teach a set of roots. The first page is a word list for the student to read and study the words and their definitions. The second page holds a vocabulary sort which involves matching all of the words with their definitions. The next page is a group activity, read-around review, but it can be performed by one student as well. In this activity each word is on a card, along with a clue as to which word comes next. After the clue is read, the person holding the word card that is the answer reads their clue, and so on until all of the words have been identified. The last page of each lesson contains a vocabulary quiz. After every two lessons a review test ensures the roots are remembered. 144 pages. ~ Steph

The last page of each lesson contains a vocabulary quiz. After every two lessons a review test ensures the roots are remembered. Each book follows the same format and is intended for the same grade level; the only difference in the books is that they offer different root words. Both books offer 30 root words and over 300 vocabulary words from those roots. 144 pgs, pb. ~ Steph
