Synopsis

HELP STUDENTS UNLOCK THE MEANING OF HUNDREDS OF ENGLISH WORDS WITH GREEK & LATIN ROOTS, PREFIXES, AND SUFFIXES!

More than half of English words have Greek or Latin origins, and A Student’s Dictionary of Greek & Latin Roots gives students the tools to better understand these words by compiling the most useful Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes together in one convenient, easy-to-use resource. Organized alphabetically, each entry provides the essential information students need to quickly look up a word part, discover its origin and meaning, and see how it influences multiple English words.

Featuring 250+ Greek and Latin root words—and more than 700 example words and definitions—it's ideal for upper elementary and middle school ELA classrooms or as part of a homeschool language arts curriculum. This student-friendly root word dictionary:

  • Compiles key word parts into one comprehensive resource so students can quickly look up common roots, prefixes, and suffixes
  • Builds a strong vocabulary by showing how a single root or affix can help students understand an entire family of related words
  • Makes morphology accessible through clear meanings, literal word-part breakdowns, and student-friendly definitions
  • Strengthens reading comprehension by helping students decode complex words and academic vocabulary
  • Supports learning across the curriculum by helping students recognize Greek and Latin word parts in language arts, science, social studies, and mathematics
  • Provides an easy-to-use reference students can return to across subjects and grade levels
  • Includes access to an exclusive companion guide with teaching routines, a complete sample lesson, activities, and reproducible student worksheets


INSIDE THIS EASY-TO-USE GREEK & LATIN VOCABULARY REFERENCE

This root, prefix and suffix dictionary includes a practical five-step process gives students a strategy for how to use these word parts as clues to decode the meanings of new vocabulary.

Each of the 250+ entries presents a common word part and explains its meaning, type, and Greek or Latin origin. More than 700 example words show these parts in action, each with a student-friendly definition and, when possible, a literal word-part breakdown. These morphological breakdowns make word construction visible, helping students connect each word’s parts to its overall meaning rather than memorizing its definition in isolation. Students also discover the unique histories behind certain words (known as "etymology"), making the words' meanings more memorable and a valuable tool for vocabulary building.

A FLEXIBLE RESOURCE FOR HOMESCHOOLING AND CLASSROOM USE

Designed for students in grades 4–8 (ages 9–14), it's accessible enough for upper elementary kids while covering the sophisticated academic vocabulary teens encounter in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade and beyond. This reusable, student-friendly reference serves as a valuable supplement for middle school vocabulary lessons, homeschool language arts and classical education. It also supports tutors, reading specialists, and reading interventionists using word origins and morphology to strengthen vocabulary, spelling, reading, and writing.

THIS MORPHOLOGY BOOK FOR KIDS & TEENS TEACHES STUDENTS TO:

  • Use Greek and Latin roots as clues to word meanings
  • Recognize common roots, prefixes & suffixes
  • Break complex words into meaningful parts
  • Reinforce spelling by recognizing recurring patterns
  • Develop stronger word awareness to improve reading and writing skills
