透過學習拉丁語詞根建立詞彙量

Did you know that 1/2 of our English vocabulary is made up of Latin words and roots? When we learn the meaning of the Latin roots, we build our knowledge of the English language....even for words we have never seen before. 

In each class, we will learn two new Latin roots and four English words that correspond with that root. We will begin the class by learning the Latin root. Next, we will learn two new vocabulary words that go with that root. The children will learn what part of speech it is and see it used in a sentence. We will also look at synonyms and/or antonyms of the word. They will write the word on an index card and then try to make their own sentence with the word. 

At the end of the class, we will play a game to review the words and give them more practice seeing, hearing, and saying the new vocabulary words. 

Generic worksheets will be provided for the students to practice the words at home.
