It explains how students identify key letters signaling roots within English derivatives, and how Latin and Greek roots appear in one or two forms. Each entry includes pronunciation, part of speech, suitable grade-level meanings, root analysis for complex words, and example sentences with synonyms or antonyms. Units also provide varied exercises, reinforcing context usage and word inference.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/vocabulary-from-latin-and-greek-roots-introduction-preface-overview/492027/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/vocabulary-from-latin-and-greek-roots-introduction-preface-overview/492027.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"CatatanPagi","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-04","2026-10-01",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",13,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"How

All rights reserved.  \nNo portion may be reproduced without permission in writing from the publisher.  \nRevised May, 2005  \nIntroduction  \nPrestwick House developed Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots in response to numerous requests for a  \nsolid etymology-based vocabulary program. Because the aim of the program is to increase retention of new  \nwords as well as to expand students’ vocabulary, we chose to organize the units by meaning rather than alphabetically. A student who associates a root with an idea will be more likely to correctly assess the definition of that root’s English derivative.  \nUnit Five of this book, for example, contains four roots having to do with driving, pushing, and sending forward. As a student reads through the Unit, he or she sees the key letters that signal the presence of each root inan English word. In the case of the third root in Unit Five, those letters form the stem PULS. Beneath these key letters is the root from which the English is derived: PELLERE, PULSUM. Students will notice that there are sometimes two forms of the root, and sometimes one. The inclusion of two forms indicates a Latin verb from which English has taken two different forms. PELLERE, for instance, gives us the word propeller, while PULSUM gives us words like pulse and impulse.  \nWhen a root comes from a Latin adjective or noun, only one form will generally be included. Greek roots also appear in only one form.  \nBeneath the definition of the root, the student will find the word, its pronunciation, part of speech, and English definition. In cases in which an English word has multiple meanings, we have chosen to include only the meaning appropriate to the grade level for which the book is intended. The word temper in this book, then, is a verb meaning “to make less severe,” rather than the more familiar noun denoting a person’s disposition or mood; in Book III, pedestrian means “ordinary” rather than “a traveler on foot.” In some instances, students may find it useful to review meanings that do not appear and discuss how they are related to the meaning presented.  \nIf the word has a prefix, or if it is especially difficult to reconcile with its root, the entry will contain an analysis of the parts of the word, followed by a literal definition. Repulsion in Book III, Unit Five, is explained as re , meaning “back,” + pulsum ; the literal meaning is “a pushing back.”  \nFinally, each entry provides a sentence using the word and introduces pertinent synonyms and/or antonyms. For added visual reinforcement of this understanding, mnemonic cartoons appear in each Unit.  \nSix different kinds of exercise follow the Unit entries. They include three kinds of practice using words in context, one test of a student’s ability to infer information based on a word’s meaning, one reading comprehension exercise, and one activity in which a student must deduce the meaning of an unfamiliar word based on knowledge of the word’s root. By the end of the exercises in each Unit, students will have had thorough practice using the word in context and will be prepared to make the word part of their working vocabulary.  \nWe hope that you find the Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots series effective in teaching new words and in fostering student interest in the history of our fascinating language.  \nNote: A guide to the pronunciation symbols and a list of Latin and Greek prefixes can be found at the beginning of this book.  \nprefixes  \nA (L.) away from  \nA(G.) not","cbCaijVkNl0Pssof","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijVkNl0Pssof","pdf",625294,128,"English","# Introduction\n## Learning approach and organization\n## Root recognition in English words\n## Entry structure: meaning, parts, and example sentences\n## Exercise types within each Unit","[{\"question\":\"How does the program organize vocabulary units in the Introduction?\",\"answer\":\"Units are organized by meaning rather than alphabetically, helping students connect a root with an idea and assess definitions more accurately.\"},{\"question\":\"What information does each vocabulary entry provide?\",\"answer\":\"Each entry includes the word, pronunciation, part of speech, an English definition appropriate to the grade level, and typically a sentence using the word plus synonyms and/or antonyms.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of exercises follow the Unit entries?\",\"answer\":\"The book includes six kinds of exercises: three context-based practice activities, a test of inference from word meaning, a reading comprehension exercise, and an activity where students deduce an unfamiliar word’s meaning using its root knowledge.\"}]","Vocabulary from Latin and Greek Roots - Introduction - Preface Overview | PDF",1790856623,323]
