Vocabulario II: Raíces griegas

Is your student struggling to read, spell, or understand multi-syllable words?

Learning word roots will help your learner:
✨expand their working vocabulary
✨improve reading comprehension
✨enhance writing skills

PLEASE NOTE -- Part I (Latin) and Part II (Greek) can be taken in ANY ORDER.

Each week, we will learn 8 new words with a common Greek root through:
✨ Discussion: what do we know about the word?
✨ Syllable Division: Break down complex words into manageable parts.
✨ Definitions: Learn precise meanings that enhance understanding.
✨ Parts of Speech: Master how each word functions in a sentence.
✨ Synonyms: Expand your vocabulary with related words.

After each class, the weekly word list and optional activities will be accessible for further practice and reinforcement, ensuring continuous growth beyond the classroom.
