I found a vocabulary that was all Greek and Latin roots with prefixes. They are taught what a prefix means and then what the root means. Then they put them together for a definition of the word. Some words are familiar, some are not. My son has loved it, and I hear him pulling apart other words all the time. When we are talking, if I say a word he isn’t familiar with, he starts breaking it apart and trying to figure out the meaning. I wasn’t sure about using this at the beginning of the year, but it has worked wonderfully for him. He is in 5th grade.
