The goal is to ignite an interest in and fascination about words for students so they may decode unfamiliar words as they read and create new words as they make language their own! Kids learn and apply the way root words, prefixes, and suffixes are used to create a living language. By examining how and why prefixes and suffixes affect simple word roots and already complex words, students can more readily expand their vocabulary. Students will be able to analyze new words by using this knowledge and the context in which the word appears. Book 1: Grades 4 and 5; Book 2: Grades 6 and 8.
