Jensen's Vocabulary

by Frode Jensen

Teach your students English from the roots up with this systematic, easy-to-follow program. As they learn over 1,000 words containing a Latin or Greek base, prefix, or suffix, they'll discover how to spell a word from "the sum of its parts"; think logically about words and definitions; increase their ability to read for comprehension; and improve standardized test scores.

A list of roots and their definitions are included at the beginning of the book; lessons ask students to make educated guesses about unfamiliar English words, find the root in a word, and work from the root definition to the current word and more, basing all answers upon the roots included in the word. Includes answer key. Ages 12 and up · 264 pgs. · softcover.
