INSIDE THIS EASY-TO-USE GREEK & LATIN VOCABULARY REFERENCE

Designed for students in grades 4–8 (ages 9–14), A Student’s Dictionary of Greek & Latin Roots helps learners look inside English words to discover their roots, prefixes, and suffixes—and understand how those parts work together to shape a word’s meaning.

Organized alphabetically, each of the 250+ entries presents a common word part and explains its meaning, type, and Greek or Latin origin. More than 700 example words show these parts in action, each with a student-friendly definition and, when possible, a literal word-part breakdown. These breakdowns make word construction visible, helping students connect each word’s parts to its overall meaning rather than memorizing its definition in isolation. Plus, discovering the unique histories behind certain words can make their meanings more memorable, turning etymology into another valuable tool for vocabulary building.

Accessible enough for upper elementary kids while covering the sophisticated middle school vocabulary teens encounter in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade and beyond, this reusable, student-friendly reference serves as a valuable supplement for ELA classrooms, homeschool language arts and classical education, tutoring, reading intervention, and independent learning. It also supports tutors, reading specialists, and interventionists using word origins and morphology to strengthen vocabulary, spelling, reading, and writing.
