Why introduce Greek and Latin roots and affixes to your students?
They are the “building blocks” of the English language! It helps your students with word means and spelling conventions. They will learn how to break down larger words in their reading. This study has proven to be effective on the end of year state and national tests!
Are there more units?
There are 20 units. They are split up into Units 1-10 and 11-20 incase you just needed 10 units or you wanted them split up between two grade levels. In each unit, there are 5 roots or affixes with 2 words to learn and study. Students learn a total of 15 definitions per week (5 roots or affixes and 10 words). If you teach all 20 units, they will learn a total of 300 words (100 roots or affixes and 200 words).
Why have 5 roots or affixes all in one study?
Students will learn more tools to break down words. The roots and affixes are categorized so students can learn them within a week. STUDENTS LEARN MORE IN A SHORTER TIME.
Why is there so much practice?
Did you know that students should encounter a word up to 70 times before it is mastered? Practice, practice, practice! In addition to the weekly practice, student need to remember the past roots and affixes introduced. That is why there is a spiraling section of 5 questions included in the quizzes for Units 2-20.
