Teaching Vocabulary to Improve Reading Comprehension

Help increase your students' confidence in understanding and using larger vocabulary words with More Greek and Latin Roots.

Over 60 percent of all English words contain Greek or Latin roots. Use the activities in this resource to help students:

  • Move beyond simply decoding words to understanding them
  • Dissect multisyllabic words into their meaningful parts
  • Increase their use of larger vocabulary words in oral and written language
  • Improve reading comprehension
  • Increase confidence in their language skills

     

    More Greek and Latin Roots follows the same friendly, easy-to-use format as in Trisha Callella's original Greek and Latin Roots and features 30 new lessons to support students' growing vocabulary. The built-in repetition and review will help students overlearn these roots and their meanings so that they become second nature.


  • "We offer a class to help our fifth graders improve their reading comprehension by learning Greek and Latin roots. We had all the families purchase "Greek and Latin Roots" by Trisha Callella. The kids loved the activities and were able to use their new knowledge of prefixes and suffixes to determine the meaning of unknown words within their reading passages. Their favorite game from the book, the read-around review, was requested at every class! This book is terrific."

    "I love my purple Greek and Latin Roots and my blue More Greek and Latin Roots books. I have had both books for three years, and I have worn the purple book out. I love how the questions have clues embedded in the sentence. Students love the practice with the matching and the Around the Word Review. Thanks for making such a great product."
