Strategic vocabulary instruction through Greek and Latin roots

Vocabulary from Classical Roots® is ideal for students mastering a growing content-area vocabulary in social studies, science, literature, and mathematics – predominantly multisyllabic Greek- and Latin-based words. Strategic instruction helps students learn to unlock the meanings of thousands of words. As students transition from learning to read to reading to learn, they will develop a useful, transferable technique to make sense out of unfamiliar words. 

  • Description

Each of the eight student books in Vocabulary from Classical Roots is designed for one grade level. The complete series spans grades 4-11.
• Book 4, Grade 4 • Book 5, Grade 5 • Book 6, Grade 6
• Book A, Grade 7 • Book B, Grade 8 • Book C, Grade 9
• Book D, Grade 10 • Book E, Grade 11

Each lesson in Vocabulary from Classical Roots is based on a specific theme such as “Nature” or “The Law.”

Each lesson consists of between 2-4 roots and 8-15 words. All lessons have the following format:
• An introduction to the selected roots and 8-15 words. Dictionary-style definitions include pronunciations, parts of speech, illustrative sentences, and multiple word forms.
• A list of “Familiar Words” and “Challenge Words” in sidebars. This allows for differentiated instruction and provides increased opportunities for vocabulary development.
• Exercise A asks students to apply their knowledge of roots by identifying synonyms and antonyms of key words presented in context.
• Exercise B asks students to identify the sentence in which a key word is used incorrectly. This type of exercise helps prepare
students for similar exercises often found on standardized tests.
• Exercise C asks students to think critically by completing sentences with the correct form of the key words. Students must
derive meaning from context as well as cross-reference word knowledge with syntax.
• Exercise D (in Books D and E only) gives students the opportunity to experience and apply context through short reading passages.
