Vocabulary Vine

By Nancy Paula Hasseler

What phonics is to reading, that's what root study is to vocabulary. Phonics gives you the tools to read almost any word, while roots give you the tools to unlock a flood of vocabulary. Barron's SAT Prep Manual says, "Learning fifty key word parts can help you unlock the meaning of over 100,000 words " Which is easier to learn, fifty roots or 100,000 new words? Vocabulary Vine is the root study with more fun and better reinforcement for less money. It teaches 108 common roots through familiar example words, spiral study, and 12 zero-preparation games. Students in 4th through 9th grade learn independently in 15 minutes/day (modify for 2nd - 12th). Reinforcement comes naturally as children compose sentences that emphasize the meanings of the roots and review recent roots. Familiar example words (no obscure ones) help children remember root meanings. Soon they're noticing roots in other subjects, where 95% of upper vocabulary is root-based.
