Help 8th-grade students develop essential skills to decode thousands of English words with this resource. Students who can determine the meanings of unfamiliar words gain a significant advantage in reading assignments and standardized tests. This program illustrates how many words share common elements—roots, prefixes, and suffixes from Latin and Greek. By understanding these elements, students will be better prepared to comprehend new words at first sight. Each lesson includes exercises that require students to use new vocabulary in various contexts, answer multiple-choice questions based on short passages, and apply their knowledge of roots, prefixes, and suffixes to define unfamiliar words. Using this resource offers several benefits: it saves time by eliminating the need to create vocabulary lessons from scratch, teaches students the foundational elements of thousands of words, provides practice in determining meanings from context, and ensures that students retain these words long after the class ends. Note from the publisher: This resource was formerly known as Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots Book II. A Teacher's Edition is available, but it is not sold to students.
