Beginning Word Roots

Beginning Word Roots

If you think Greek and Latin roots sound like something you'd need a toga and a time machine for—think again! Beginning Word Roots turns ancient word parts into modern superpowers for your child's vocabulary, spelling, and reading skills.

National standards now ask students in grades 4–12 to know their prefixes from their suffixes and decode complex words like little language detectives. And honestly? It's one of the rare mandates that actually helps. When kids learn how words are built, they read better, write better, and spell like champs.

That's where this workbook comes in. Beginning Word Roots is packed with 112 pages of brain-boosting fun—covering 26 prefixes, 59 roots, 41 suffixes, and 137 real vocabulary words. Lessons are short, snappy, and practical. Your child will match words to meanings, finish sentences, break down word parts, and write his own sentences with brand-new vocab.

The best part? The workbook is so open-and-go, it practically teaches itself. Teaching suggestions, answer keys, and periodic reviews are built in, and the pages are reproducible, so siblings can join in the fun too.

If you're looking for a playful, painless way to power up your child's word skills, Beginning Word Roots is your secret weapon. Grab a pencil, crack open the book, and watch those lightbulb moments light up the room.
