Teach these 110 word parts and increase your students' reading vocabulary by thousands of words.  Really! 

Written by Janet Doolin Caruthers, Ed. S. - an educational specialist in reading with over 28 years teaching experience. "Somewhere, I read, 'Why teach thousands of individual words, when you can teach their interchangeable word parts?'  I thought that made A LOT of sense.  So I wrote this book." Janet Caruthers, Ed. S.

Why THIS book?  It is a systematic, common sense approach to teaching the most frequently seen and heard word parts (morphemes).  It is not an exhaustive study of Latin and Greek morphemes, it is a simplified study of the Greek and Latin morphemes presented in their most frequently seen forms.   By learning the meanings of these word parts, a reader can determine an approximation of literally thousands of words.  Many times, an approximation of a word meaning is all that we need to be able to understand what the author is saying.

For grades 3 - adult

Addresses the Common Core Standards

 

What do experts say about teaching vocabulary?

1. Vocabulary should be taught in context.  In this book, each new morpheme is taught in the context of a word and a sentence.
2. Vocabulary instruction should include activating new knowledge. This book provides three opportunities to activate each morpheme. (Two in each set and 4-Square Activation activity (template provided).
3. Vocabulary should be revisited.  Many morphemes are repeated throughout this book. PLUS, there are two formal cumulative reviews (one after set #5 and one after set #10). Reviewing with flashcards is strongly suggested and is mandatory for success. Electronic flashcards are included in the purchase price. It is also recommended that the student(s) also make flashcards.

Why do YOU as a teacher or parent also need to know the most frequently seen morphemes?  If YOU know the word parts and their meanings, your teaching will be greatly enhanced as you can recognize and seize countless “teachable moments”  throughout your day.
