Latin Roots for English Word Power

Teaching Materials:: See Below

More than 50% of the words we use today are derived from Latin. Students who want to increase their “word power” in English can do so either by studying Latin in a traditional way or by learning some basic root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Joan Jahnige, KET’s satellite Latin teacher, designed this six-part series to help high school students improve vocabulary decoding skills by learning some of those basic Latin roots.

Though designed for high school students looking toward college entrance tests, this series will also be valuable enrichment for advanced middle school students.
