Strategic Vocabulary Instruction Through Greek and Latin Roots
More than 60% of the English language is comprised of words derived from Greek and Latin roots. Vocabulary from Classical Roots® is ideal for students mastering a growing content-area vocabulary in social studies, science, and mathematics — predominantly multisyllabic Greek- and Latin-based words. Vocabulary from Classical Roots helps students unlock the meanings of thousands of words. As students shift focus from learning phonics to building advanced vocabulary and comprehension, they will develop practical strategies to make meaning from unfamiliar words.
