Program Overview
Building Vocabulary from Word Roots is a systematic approach to word awareness and vocabulary building for students in grades one through eleven . Based on the dual premises that over 90 percent of English words of two or more syllables are of Greek or Latin origin and that most academic vocabulary is derived from Latin and Greek origins, this series teaches essential word strategies that enable students to unlock the meaning of vocabulary words they encounter inside and outside of school . Building Vocabulary from Word Roots teaches Greek and Latin prefixes, bases, and suffixes—the semantic units from which the vast majority of English words are derived .
The Building Vocabulary series consists of Teacher’s Guides with accompanying Guided Practice Books for students . Every student should have a Guided Practice Book, which is used throughout the entire year .
Each part of a lesson can be completed in 10–15 minutes per day, and entire lesson can be completed in a week . Since the series is designed to support students with a range of reading and vocabulary levels, you can select the activities that will best meet your students’ needs . Each lesson contains plenty of activities to choose from . Ideas for differentiating instruction are also provided to enhance and diversify instruction .
Levels One and Two, called Building Vocabulary: Foundations, teach word analysis at the word-family level . In other words, students are learning words mainly through word parts that share sounds (also called word families) . Students learning to read often naturally use the sound patterns of familiar print words to make analogies that help them pronounce unfamiliar print words (Moustafa 2002) . The activities in Building Vocabulary: Foundations, Level One build proficiency with this skill . Level Two of Building Vocabulary:
Foundations continues this focus on sound—spelling patterns using common diphthongs and digraphs as the focus of activity . Level Two also begins to focus on parts that share meanings (e .g ., Greek and Latin roots) .
Levels Three through Eight, called Building Vocabulary from Word Roots, more thoroughly teach Greek and Latin prefixes, bases, and suffixes . These are the semantic units from which the vast majority of English words are derived . Conceptually, then, the series focuses on learning words through their roots (parts of words that consist of letter combinations that have consistent sounds and/or meanings) .
Levels Nine through Eleven build on the roots taught in previous levels, teaching each root with greater depth and complexity . New words for roots are introduced with an emphasis on content-area vocabulary . Levels nine through eleven effectively prepare students for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT .
To see a complete listing of all of the word families and roots taught throughout the series, view the file titled Building Vocabulary—Word Families and Word Roots List on the Teacher Resource CD .

Roots:
How do they work?
Prefixes, bases, and suffixes are roots.
Each of these roots has a meaning.
When joined together, these roots
create new words.
The base describes the main idea. The
prefix and/or suffix give an important
detail about that main idea.
Prefixes come at the beginning.
Bases come in the middle.
Suffixes come at the end.

Teacher Notes
• This lesson uses familiar roots to
review the strategy of “Divide and
Conquer” (word dissection).
• Most lessons in Building Vocabulary
from Word Roots can be completed in
10–15 minutes. This one may take
longer because it builds a conceptual
foundation for the semantic unit or
“roots” approach to vocabulary
learning.
Direct students to Guided Practice Book
pages 4–8 to fi nd the activity pages for
Unit 1, Lesson 1, Parts A–E. See bonus
pages 1–3 on the CD for additional
activities.
Activate Background Knowledge
1. Tell students that this year they will be “word
detectives” as they fi gure out the meaning of
hundreds of words by connecting the meaning
of their roots.
2. Remind them that they already know much
about words and how they work. Tell them
to make a list of everything they already
know. Ask volunteers to share what they have
written. (You may want to list their ideas on the
board. Emphasize any response that identifi es
“roots” and “word parts” as a strategy.)
3. Using Transparency
#1, briefl y review the
concept of “roots” as
prefi xes (units added
to the front of a word
that affect its meaning),
bases (units that
provide a word’s main
meaning), and suffi xes
(units attached to the
end of a word that
affect its meaning).
4. Using Transparency
#2, ask students to tell
what each word means
when the prefi x is
changed (unicycle = one
wheel, bicycle = two
wheels, tricycle = three
wheels, motorcycle =
moving [mot means
“move”] wheels,
recycle = cycling again
or back).

Differentiation StrategiesAbove Level SupportHave students look for examples of word roots and create a list. Students can share their words with students who need additional support.
English Language SupportReview directions for each activity and model how to get started. Allow students to work in pairs or small groups.
Below Level SupportAs you review word roots, practice with additional words. Use familiar words to teach the concept.
Teach New Concepts 5. Using Transparency #3, ask students to
tell what each word means when the suffi x is changed (hard, harder, hardest; color, colorful, colorless).
6. Now write the words preview and review on the board. Ask each student to turn to a neighbor, take one of those words, and use the word’s roots to tell what the word means. Ask for volunteers to describe how they fi gured out the word’s meaning. (If students are new to the Building Vocabulary from Word Roots program, you may need to scaffold this activity by modeling the process using a familiar compound word such as “birthday” to introduce the concept of “word dissection.”)
7. Use Transparency #4 to review the strategy of “Divide and Conquer” (word dissection) with the words preview and review. (If students need more support, practice additional words. Compound words work well with beginners. You can also choose words from students’ other texts. Try to stay with familiar vocabulary until they grasp the concept of a semantic unit.)

The first word in each “Divide and Conquer” activity is often the most challenging, so students will benefit from explicit instruction . Then students will be better able to independently “divide and conquer” the remaining words on the list .
In Part B (“Combine and Create”), students compose English words from the word roots . Usually, in this part of the lesson, students analyze something and record an English word as the answer .
In Part C (“Read and Reason”), students read a variety of passages that use word roots in context and then answer questions in pairs or small groups about the root-based vocabulary .
In Part D (“Extend and Explore”), students work individually and in partners/small groups to create applications for the new vocabulary .
In Part E (“Go for the Gold”), students enjoy a variety of vocabulary activities and games for additional word-root practice and review .
How to Use This Program
The following provides a more detailed overview of the various components of this program, including the differentiated, five-part lessons, the Assessment section, the Teacher Resources section, and the Teacher Resource CD . Each component offers support for the entire program, making students’ word learning meaningful and fun .
Lesson Overview Each lesson in the Guided Practice Book begins with Part A (“Meet the Root”) . This activity is called “Divide and Conquer,” and it provides the foundation for all activities that follow, as it asks students to divide words into their
word parts . This requires students to identify the Greek and Latin roots from each lesson . Students “conquer” words by writing the meaning of each word part and finally, the meaning of the entire word . Since this is intended as an explicit instruction day, help students by using the following suggestions:
Remind students that when we translate bases and prefixes, we normally put the base first (as the core of the word) and then add the meaning of the prefix . For example, the word convene does not mean “together come,” although the roots appear in that order; translate the base first in order to produce “come together .”
After students divide and translate the word parts in the first two blanks, ask the question, “If the base X means Y and the prefix X means Y, then the whole word means XY .” For example, “If the base oper means “work” and the prefix co- means “with, together,” then the whole word means “work together” (formally defined as “work together in harmonious fashion”) .

How to Use This Program (cont.)
Additional ResourcesThe Assessment section of the Teacher’s Guide contains a diagnostic pre-test and item analysis for gauging students’ root knowledge at the beginning of the school year, unit quizzes to assess students’ learning after each unit of study, and a post-test for assessing students’ learning over the course of the school year . Keep your assessment focus on the extent to which students have learned roots, not particular words containing them . Students will learn particular words, of course, but it is more important that they learn the words that will help them unlock new words in the future .
The Teacher’s Guide has a Teacher Resources section . This section offers a number of activities that you can use to enrich your students’ learning experiences, using the word cards and additional activity template provided .
Transparencies are provided to supplement instruction for each lesson with guided practice activities .
The Teacher Resource CD that accompanies the series, which is located at the end of this Teacher’s Guide, offers additional teaching and practice ideas . The CD contains Bonus Pages (activities for each lesson to differentiate instruction), copies of the Assessments and Transparencies, Reproducibles (such as activity templates and word cards), and a comprehensive Word Families and Word Roots List .
This kit includes a copy of the Building Vocabulary Professional Development DVD . See Building Vocabulary lessons modeled in real classrooms at different grade levels . Learn from a professional development in-service facilitated by the authors, four renowned experts in the field of vocabulary instruction .
Pacing Plan The Building Vocabulary program for each level is designed to fit within a 28-week school year . The five units for each level (3–11) present students with 20–25 essential prefixes, bases, and suffixes . This prepares students for high school, college, and beyond . The program can also be condensed to fit a summer program . Parts of lessons can be combined so that the entire lesson is taught each day .
Year long Program—In an ongoing program with a minimum of 2 .5 hrs ./wk ., up to 40 weeks, you can cover the whole program by doing one lesson per week . Spend approximately 30 minutes each day to complete one part of the five-part lesson . For example, Part A can be completed on the first day of the week and all remaining sections on subsequent days of the week . Each unit is designed to be completed in a five-week period, with the sixth week for review .
Summer School Program—Used in a summer school setting, this program is designed to cover one unit per week, for a 4–6 week program . Cover one lesson per day by condensing the five-part lesson to meet the needs of your students . For example, discuss the poems from Parts A and C and then choose an activity (or activities, as time permits) for word-family practice . Review lessons can be incorporated throughout the week for additional practice (as time does not allow for a sixth day of practice for the week) .

Lesson 1 Review of “Divide and Conquer”
ObjectiveObjective #5
Teacher Notes• This lesson uses familiar roots to
review the strategy of “Divide and Conquer” (word dissection).
• Most lessons in Building Vocabulary from Word Roots can be completed in 10–15 minutes. This one may take longer because it builds a conceptual foundation for the semantic unit or “roots” approach to vocabulary learning.
Direct students to Guided Practice Book pages 4–8 to fi nd the activity pages for Unit 1, Lesson 1, Parts A–E. See bonus pages 1–3 on the CD for additional activities.
Activate Background Knowledge 1. Tell students that this year they will be “word
detectives” as they fi gure out the meaning of hundreds of words by connecting the meaning of their roots.
2. Remind them that they already know much about words and how they work. Tell them to make a list of everything they already know. Ask volunteers to share what they have written. (You may want to list their ideas on the board. Emphasize any response that identifi es “roots” and “word parts” as a strategy.)
3. Using Transparency #1, briefl y review the concept of “roots” as prefi xes (units added to the front of a word that affect its meaning), bases (units that provide a word’s main meaning), and suffi xes (units attached to the end of a word that affect its meaning).
4. Using Transparency #2, ask students to tell what each word means when the prefi x is changed (unicycle = one wheel, bicycle = two wheels, tricycle = three wheels, motorcycle = moving [mot means “move”] wheels, recycle = cycling again or back).

Roots:How do they work?
Prefixes, bases, and suffixes are roots. Each of these roots has a meaning. When joined together, these roots
create new words.
The base describes the main idea. The prefix and/or suffix give an important
detail about that main idea.
Prefixes come at the beginning.Bases come in the middle.Suffixes come at the end.

word’s roots to tell what the word means. Ask
for volunteers to describe how they fi gured out
the word’s meaning. (If students are new to the
Building Vocabulary from Word Roots program, you
may need to scaffold this activity by modeling
the process using a familiar compound word
such as “birthday” to introduce the concept of
“word dissection.”)
7. Use Transparency

strategy of “Divide

dissection) with the
words preview and
review. (If students need
more support, practice
additional words.
Compound words work
well with beginners. You can also choose words
from students’ other texts. Try to stay with
familiar vocabulary until they grasp the concept
of a semantic unit.)
