Writing Tips

#21 - Teach Root Words

There are thousands upon thousands of words in the English language. We can give list after list of words for our students to memorize and still not come close to teaching them all. Why not get more bang your buck and teach root words. Think about it, if you teach one vocabulary word your students learn one vocabulary word. If you teach one Greek or Latin Root, your students can learn dozens of words. Try the word “bene.” Knowing that this word means “good” will help your students learn many words such as “benediction,” “beneficial,” “benefit,” beneficiary,” “benefactor,” “benevolent.” A quick search of Greek and Latin words will give you dozens of great words to use in your vocabulary program. There is a chapter in The Complete Writing Program with lists of words and a vocabulary routine to go with it. There are also worksheets to help your students get the most out of these words. This beneficial list will be a benevolent gift as they become the beneficiaries of a better vocabulary.
