Review
"What a pleasure to see this wonderful book in publication. It addresses a real need teachers have: how to make sure these important ideas about vocabulary instruction can be put into action. Greek and Latin Roots: Keys to Building Vocabulary is also research based, which is a real necessity for everything we do in the classroom. And, it's just a delight to read! The humor (from the capter titles like "A Root Awakening"), games, and other motivating strategies will captivate both teachers and students alike. Bravi! (from Italian) to the authors for this fine classroom tool." --Camille Blachowicz, PH.D., Coauthor of Teaching Vocabulary in All Classrooms

Covering prefixes, suffixes, bases, and more, all to facilitate learning how to speak these ancient and historic languages, "Greek & Latin Roots" is highly recommended for any language studies shelf.

Book Title Misleading
Great book if you are teaching Greek and Latin, but I just wanted to brush up on my own vocabulary. Therefore, about 1/2 the book was useless to me (the teaching parts).
