SynopsisDid you know that Greek and Latin roots make up 90% of English words of two or more syllables? Having an extensive vocabulary is key to students' reading comprehension. By adopting the strategies in this book, teachers will help their students read more effectively, setting a foundation for lifelong learning and reading success. This teacher-friendly resource written by Timothy Rasinski, Nancy Padak, Rick M. Newton, and Evangeline Newton provides the latest research on how to teach Greek and Latin roots. It includes anecdotes from teachers who have adopted these strategies and how they play out in today's classrooms. With a research-based rationale for addressing vocabulary in the classroom, this K-12 resource is full of strategies for increasing reading comprehension, instructional planning, and building a word-rich learning environment to support all students including English language learners., Effective vocabulary instruction is the key to students' literacy development, content-area mastery, and conceptual thinking. Yet how do teachers know which words to teach and how best to teach them? Authored by four nationally recognized researchers, teacher educators, and vocabulary experts, this K-12 resource focuses on how to teach the Greek and Latin roots that lie at the core of over 90% of academic vocabulary. Beginning with word families (rimes) and progressing to word roots (prefixes, bases, suffixes), students learn how to "divide and conquer" the vocabulary of school. They learn how to make "cognate connections" between new and familiar words. This revised edition incorporates the latest research, adds chapters on word families and spelling, and shares updated instructional methods, including differentiation strategies and support for English learners. With descriptions of in-class applications, this book connects the fascinating world of words to the real-life experiences of today's students and teachers.
