Vocabulary Vine
Enhance your homeschool curriculum with Vocabulary Vine, a program designed to unlock the meanings of over 100,000 words by learning Latin and Greek roots. Understanding word roots is key to mastering vocabulary, as the majority of English words are built upon a foundation of Latin and Greek. By learning these roots and prefixes, students can easily decode the meaning of thousands of unfamiliar words.
Curriculum Overview
Vocabulary Vine helps students learn the essential Latin and Greek word roots, along with prefixes and suffixes, to build a strong vocabulary foundation. Each root comes with:
- Study Root Spelling and Definition: Students learn the spelling, definition, and origin of each root.
- Example Words: For each root, students study three familiar example words that use the root, helping them see the word in context.
- Index Cards for Review: Students write the root's information on index cards for later review, reinforcing learning through repetition.
Why Choose Vocabulary Vine?
Vocabulary Vine uses a proven spiral learning method, which combines preview, study, and review to improve long-term retention. This method ensures that students keep building on what they’ve learned. For example, a student learns the root "tele" (Greek for "far away") and its example word "telegraph," with plans to study "graph" later in the program. A reference number helps track when the word will appear again for reinforcement.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Word Root List: The program covers 108 key word parts that unlock the meaning of 100,000 words, significantly expanding students' vocabulary.
- Weekly Learning Goals: Students only need to learn three roots a week, making it manageable to complete the entire 36-week curriculum.
- Optional Learning Games: The program includes suggestions for twelve fun, zero-preparation learning games that keep the lessons engaging and enjoyable.
