Rationale
• English language has 1,200,000 – 2,000,000 words!• Estimated that technology is contributing
20,000 new words a year• 90% of English words with more than 1
syllable are Latin based•Most of remaining 10% are Greek based• Single root can help us understand 5-20
related English words

Rationale, cont.Reading Comprehension
“Decades of research have consistently found a deep connection between vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension, and academic success…vocabulary [is] a bridge between the word level processes of phonics and the cognitive processes of comprehension” (Rasinsky, et al, 2008, p. 15).

Five Common Misconceptions •Misconception 1: Definitions do the trick•Misconception 2: Weekly vocabulary lists
are effective•Misconception 3: Teachers should teach all
hard words, especially those printed in bold or italics.•Misconception 4: The study of Latin and
Greek roots is too hard for young learners•Misconception 5: Word learning can't be
fun.

The earliest Greek civilizations lived around 3,000+ years ago.
Some historians put the earliest dates of Greek society around the time of the first
Olympic games – 776 B.C.
Others extend the beginning to circa 1000+ years B.C.
A Little Bit of History…

Romans, who spoke Latin, came from Rome (now
Italy).
Romans conquered and controlled all of these lands for
hundreds of years.
![Page 15: Get Back to Your Roots! Intentional Word Study with Greek and Latin Roots Tiffany Rose & Cheryl Harrel WABE Conference, Yakima, WA April 19, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649c7e5503460f9493441e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Those who have the power determine the language.
The people of the conquered lands had to learn many Latin words to be able to communicate
with the people who ruled over them.
Latin became the language of religion, medicine, business, and law.

• 4. Engage• 5. Discuss• 6. Games

•Word dissection – helps students see the root in the context of words so they can learn how to identify it and use its meaning to determine the meaning of an unfamiliar word• Focus on new root and connect to familiar• Scaffold conversation through examples

Getting Started
• Early elementary – start with compound words and show how they can be broken apart• Then add negating words with prefixes
(un-, in-)• Then add directional words with prefixes
(pre-, re-)• Then add easy suffixes (-er, -est, -able)• Bases

Considering what we have discussed today, what routines might you establish in your classroom, even as you go back to your classes next week?
