Synopsis
In this day and age of digital communication, verbal communication has nearly gone by the wayside. Yet understanding how words are formed, as well as how they originate, is an essential part of grammar instruction, as well as building reading comprehension and proficiency in writing. The Word Builders Series provides students with practice in language arts and reading fluency, developing fundamental skills that will last a lifetime.What is The Word Builders Series?Each book in The Word Builders Series shows how words are formed and how word endings change or add to their meanings. Each suffix has a specific function when applied to nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. Adding suffixes to words not only influences meaning, but also demonstrates how a word is used in a sentence. Students learn how adding a suffix to a word can change the job that word does in a sentence and what part of speech (noun, adjective, verb, or adverb) to which the word belongs. There are three books in The Word Builders Series, each aligned to meet the vocabulary and language arts requirements of the Common Core Language Arts Standards.• Word Builders: Noun Suffixes• Word Builders: Adjective Suffixes• Word Builders: Verb and Adverb SuffixesThe Word Builders Series is also a perfect companion to our Parts of Speech Series. It is suggested that students complete the lessons in the five resource books included in the Parts of Speech Series to gain even more fluency when using The Word Builders Series. Who should use The Word Builders Series?The Word Builders Series is designed for students in grades 5–8. The 12 words chosen for each lesson best represent the companion words formed by adding the featured suffix. English language learners also benefit from understanding how words are formed and how they originate: the added context develops the ability to decode new words and their meanings. Each suffix is a high-use, essential vocabulary-building component. Why is understanding the function of suffixes important? Understanding root words and suffixes is an essential strategy for decoding difficult words as well as discerning the meaning of new words. Understanding the role of how suffixes influence meaning also helps students recognize and apply context and etymological clues, allowing them to make educated guesses about the meaning of unfamiliar words.Suffix instruction is essential component to a strong foundation in language arts and parts of speech. For suffix instruction to be most successful, it should be reinforced throughout a student’s academic career, especially in the middle-school and high-school years.How does The Word Builders Series help students build reading comprehension?Many common suffixes are based upon Latin and Greek words, as well as words from other cultures. As students develop a familiarity with various suffixes, their comprehension in many other subjects improves as well. Science and history terms, as well as terms used in the arts and music, are easier to decipher when students have an understanding of how words are formed. How does The Word Builders Series support ELL instruction?Since numerous suffixes are derived from Greek and Latin roots, ELL students and teachers can benefit from instruction in the meanings of suffixes. ELL students also gain important decoding skills that they can apply to the unfamiliar words they encounter across the curriculum.How can I use The Word Builders Series with my students?The ten lessons in The Word Builders Series are designed to be used in a variety of ways.• Lessons are self-guided so that students can work alone or with a partner at their own pace.• Lessons can be easily incorporated into any current language arts curriculum and be used with more direct instruction.• Lessons can be used in after-school programs, as part of summer school instruction, or during one-on-one tutoring sessions.
