Comments and Reviews

"Designed by an elementary school for the elementary school students, this book provides detailed specific instructions about how to interest elementary students in 100 Latin and Greek root words and their English derivatives by providing them with a meaningful hands-on vocabulary building project using readily available materials. For each of the 63 Latin and 37 Greek root words, information about the Latin or Greek antecedent is given so that the teacher has an ample understanding of the root word. In addition, Teaching Notes present various kinds of interesting information about each word or its derivatives, and an extra Word section gives other words which are related to the derivatives. As a result no knowledge of Greek or Latin is necessary. This book can make word study a successful and exciting classroom experience."
