    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 the 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 .

    Teacher Notes

    • Since most English words are spelled

    and defi ned by what their parts mean,

    students must learn word study

    strategies that emphasize meaning

    relationships (semantics) between the

    parts of a word. Approaching words

    “from the roots up,” students will

    progress in vocabulary building without

    having to memorize long word lists.

    • Level Five will build on these important

    concepts as students meet a new set of

    roots.

    1. Words are made up of roots which

    have meaning. A semantic relationship

    exists between the roots in a word.

    2. A word’s meaning can be unlocked

    through recognition of its roots. The

    strategies of “Divide and Conquer”

    (word dissection) and “Combine and

    Create” (word composition) can

    be used to identify roots and build

    a connection to unlock a word’s

    meaning.

    3. Many words have interesting historie

    s

    and all words are fun to explore. As

    “word detectives,” students can fi gure

    out the meaning of many diffi cult or

    unusual words on their own just by

    using the roots as clues.

    • This lesson uses familiar roots to review

    the strategy of “Divide and Conquer.”

    Differentiation StrategiesAbove Level SupportHave students take words from this lesson and write a story or make up a short skit. Tell students that words must be used appropriately in context with other words. Have them share their products with the rest of the class.

    English Language SupportProvide visuals and other supporting materials for students to complete the “What Do You Know” activity in Part C. Explain words and defi nitions as needed before requiring students to complete the lesson activities.

    Below Level SupportLet students work in pairs or small groups to fi nish the activities. This may help reduce any anxiety that students may feel at completing the work independently.

    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).

    5. Using Transparency #3, ask students to tell what each word means when the suffi x is changed (hard, harder, hardest; color, colorful, colorless).

    Teach New Concepts 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 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

    Tips for Implementation

    1. Keep the instructional goals in mind.Building Vocabulary has two broad goals: 1) to increase students’ knowledge of words, particularly those words they need to be successful in school and; 2) to deepen their knowledge about words so that students have strategies to fi gure out the meaning of many new words on their own. 2. Make sure to read the “Teacher Notes” section for each new lesson.

    This section provides the background information you need to teach the lesson. In levels one and two a list of words for each word family is provided. In levels three and up, information is given to help teach Greek and Latin roots. The teacher notes section provides a wealth of interesting information and ideas for you to use with students. Each week there are also suggestions for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners. It is important for children to feel successful, so use the suggestions and feel free to adapt them to meet your students’ needs.3. Develop regular routines with activities that scaffold increasingly independent learning. Although the program gives day-to-day activities in a quick and regular routine, you should feel free to modify or adapt the program to meet your own particular instructional needs. The key is to make your instruction a regular routine that gets students to think deeply about the word families or roots. Plan to spend 10-15 minutes each day on vocabulary.

    4. Try to fi nd time for students to explore words with others. Many of the activities in “Building Vocabulary” can be completed with partners or in small groups. Some specifi cally invite students to work together. When students complete an assignment with others, they have a chance to try out new words and talk about how they “work.” Remember that games like “Wordo” and “Word Spokes” are not just fun––they are good instruction!

    5. Keep the learning outcomes in mind. By the end of the program, your students’ should have 1) learned the meaning of some of the most common word roots in the English language; 2) understood how to apply those meanings to “divide and conquer” unfamiliar words; 3) deepened their “word awareness.” Above all, we hope your students will have become independent word sleuths and lifelong word lovers! 6. Keep the focus on thinking about the roots or word families, not on memorizing particular words.

    Students need to become convinced that they have knowledge and processes to fi gure out the meanings of words. Roots can help here because prefi xes and bases represent familiar concepts (un = not; pre = before; graph = write). Word families help students see spelling patterns for many words. As students fi gure out the meaning of new words, ask them “What do you think? Why?” rather than “What’s the right answer?” Remember that the most effective way to teach vocabulary is not through mindless repetition or memorization.

    Management

    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 .

    AnalogiesDirections: Analogies are statements about how words or concepts are related to each other.

    Here are some sample relationships:

    Part to Whole: Steering wheel is to car as handlebar is to bicycle.Opposites: Night is to day as win is to lose.Cause and Effect: Storm is to rain as blizzard is to snow.Geography: New York City is to United States as London is to England.Synonym: Boat is to ship as chilly is to cold.Word Form: Write is to writer as farm is to farmer.

    Determine the word relationship for the fi rst pair of words. Then, using the Word Bank, fi ll in the blanks to complete the analogies.

    1. Incline is to board as ______________________ is to chair.

    2. Inclination is to preference as ______________________ is to a container for hatching eggs.

    3. Inclined is to inclination as disinclined is to ______________________.

    4. Incubate is to incubated as ______________________ is to succumbed.

    5. To have a liking for is to prefer as ______________________ is to decline.

    I told her that I declined a coll

    ege acceptance to go to Harva

    rd.

    In reality, I was not accepted t

    o the school. Should I tell her

    the

    truth? I’m disinclined to do so

    , but I don’t think that’s right e

    ither.

    Larry

    Fibs

    Dear Larry Fibs,

    I understand why you succumbed to temptation and fi bbed

    to your mother. Of course you don’t want your mother to be

    disappointed by a rejection letter, so you let her down easy.

    But ultimately, my advice is to tell the truth. It’s always the

    best policy. You need to be inclined to be honest.

    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 A means X and the prefix B 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”) .

    DID YOU KNOW?Have you ever had a friend with a cold sneeze or cough on you? Did you wait to see if you would get sick too? If so, by the time you got sick, your friend was probably well. The time between exposure to germs and the outbreak of symptoms is called the incubation period. Curiously, this term comes from observing that mother hens “lie” (cub) “on” (in-) their eggs to keep them warm until they hatch. Just as hens who lay eggs must wait awhile until they hatch, so too we wait to see if we will get sick after we have been exposed to someone else’s germs. Our ideas can also have an incubation period. Do you ever “sit” “on” a new idea before trying it out? Letting our thoughts incubate before taking action sometimes makes for better decisions!

    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) .

    Teacher Notes (cont.)• These are core activities in the Building Vocabulary

    from Word Roots series.

    • Most lessons in Building Vocabulary from Word Roots can be completed in 10–15 minutes. This one will 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 CD for additional activities.

    Activate Background Knowledge 1. Tell students that this year they will continue

    to 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. 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 (unit added to the front of a word that affects its meaning), bases (unit that provides a word’s main meaning), and suffi xes (unit attached to the end of a word that affects its meaning).

    Overhead Transparency #1

    #10645 ( i1824) Building Vocabulary from Word Roots ©Teacher Created Materials

    Roots:How do they work?

    Prefi xes, bases, and suffi xes are roots. Each of these roots has a meaning. When joined together, these roots create new words.

    The base describes the main idea. The prefi x and/or suffi x give an important detail about that main idea.

    Prefi xes come at the beginning.Bases come in the middle.Suffi xes come at the end.

    ObjectiveObjective #2

    Teacher Notes• Since most English words are spelled

    and defi ned by what their parts mean, students must learn word study strategies that emphasize meaning relationships (semantics) between the parts of a word. Approaching words “from the roots up,” students will progress in vocabulary building without having to memorize long word lists.

    • Level Five will build on these important concepts as students meet a new set of roots.

    1. Words are made up of roots which have meaning. A semantic relationship exists between the roots in a word.

    2. A word’s meaning can be unlocked through recognition of its roots. The strategies of “Divide and Conquer” (word dissection) and “Combine and Create” (word composition) can be used to identify roots and build a connection to unlock a word’s meaning.

    3. Many words have interesting histories and all words are fun to explore. As “word detectives,” students can fi gure out the meaning of many diffi cult or unusual words on their own just by using the roots as clues.

    • This lesson uses familiar roots to review the strategy of “Divide and Conquer.”

    The Teach New Concepts section provides step-by-step instruction to guide students through the lesson .

    with familiar vocabulary until they

    grasp the concept of a semantic unit.)

    Differentiation Strategies

    Above Level Support

    Have students take words from this

    lesson and write a story or make up a

    short skit. Tell students that words must

    be used appropriately in context with

    other words. Have them share their

    products with the rest of the class.

    English Language Support

    Provide visuals and other supporting

    materials for students to complete the

    “What Do You Know” activity in Part C.

    Explain words and defi nitions as needed

    before requiring students to complete

    the lesson activities.

    Below Level Support

    Let students work in pairs or small

    groups to fi nish the activities. This may

    help reduce any anxiety that students

    may feel at completing the work

    independently.

    4. Using Transparency #2, ask student

    s 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).

    5. Using Transparency

    #3, ask students to

    tell what each word

    means when the suffi x

    is changed (hard, harder,

    hardest; color, colorful,

    colorless).

    Teach New

    Concepts

    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 gure

    d out

    the word’s meaning. (If students are new to

    the

    program, you may need to scaffold this activity

    by

    modeling the process using a familiar compou

    nd

    word such as “birthday” to introduce the conc

    ept of

    “word dissection.”)

    7. Use Transparency

    #4 to review the

    strategy of “Divide

    and Conquer” (word

    dissection) with the

    words preview and

    Then, call a clue for each word. The clue can be the defi nition for the word, a synonym, an antonym, or a sentence with the target word deleted. Students need to determine the target word and then mark it with an X. When a student has four Xs in a row, column, diagonal, or four corners, they can call out “Wordo!” Check his or her words, and declare that student the winner.

    The last day of each lesson (Part E) provides a game-like activity to give students extra practice and to reinforce learning of new roots and words .

    Note: Teach this two-page lesson plan before students work in their Guided Practice Book. Part A should be completed on the same day the lesson is taught.

    Lesson 1 Review of “Divide and Conquer”

    Teacher Notes (cont.)• These are core activities in the Building Vocabulary

    from Word Roots series .

    • Most lessons in Building Vocabulary from Word Roots can be completed in 10–15 minutes . This one will 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 find the activity pages for Unit 1, Lesson 1, Parts A–E . See bonus pages 1–3 on CD for additional activities .

    Activate Background Knowledge 1 . Tell students that this year they will continue

    to be “word detectives” as they figure 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 . List their ideas on the board . Emphasize any response that identifies “roots” and “word parts” as a strategy .

    3 . Using Transparency #1, briefly review the concept of “roots” as prefixes (unit added to the front of a word that affects its meaning), bases (unit that provides a word’s main meaning), and suffixes (unit attached to the end of a word that affects its meaning).

    ObjectiveObjective #2

    Teacher Notes• Since most English words are spelled

    and defined by what their parts mean, students must learn word study strategies that emphasize meaning relationships (semantics) between the parts of a word . Approaching words “from the roots up,” students will progress in vocabulary building without having to memorize long word lists .

    • Level Five will build on these important concepts as students meet a new set of roots .

    1 . Words are made up of roots which have meaning . A semantic relationship exists between the roots in a word .

    2 . A word’s meaning can be unlocked through recognition of its roots . The strategies of “Divide and Conquer” (word dissection) and “Combine and Create” (word composition) can be used to identify roots and build a connection to unlock a word’s meaning .

    3 . Many words have interesting histories and all words are fun to explore . As “word detectives,” students can figure out the meaning of many difficult or unusual words on their own just by using the roots as clues .

    • This lesson uses familiar roots to review the strategy of “Divide and Conquer .”

    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.)

    Differentiation Strategies Above Level Support

    Have students take words from this lesson and write a story or make up a short skit . Tell students that words must be used appropriately in context with other words . Have them share their products with the rest of the class .

    English Language Support

    Provide visuals and other supporting materials for students to complete the “What Do You Know” activity in Part C . Explain words and definitions as needed before requiring students to complete the lesson activities .

    Below Level Support

    Let students work in pairs or small groups to finish the activities . This may help reduce any anxiety that students may feel at completing the work independently .

    4 . Using Transparency #2, ask students to tell what each word means when the prefix is changed (unicycle = one wheel; bicycle = two wheels; tricycle = three wheels; motorcycle = moving [mot means “move”] wheels; recycle = cycling again or back).

    5 . Using Transparency #3, ask students to tell what each word means when the suffix is changed (hard, harder, hardest; color, colorful, colorless) .

    Teach New Concepts 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 figured out the word’s meaning . (If students are new to the 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
