Prefixes and Bases from Latin is an etymology module for students who struggle to read or spell long words, and who would benefit from using more varied and sophisticated vocabulary
Overview
Latin has had a huge influence on English, and particularly on academic vocabulary, so this module aims to improve students’ reading and understanding of more advanced words.
Students will learn the meaning of various prefixes and bases that derive from Latin, and use worksheets, games and other activities to practise using advanced vocabulary.
Developing students’ awareness of Latin prefixes also gives insights into spelling. In particular, knowing about Latin prefixes can often explain why some letters are doubled while others are not (e.g. col + labor + ate 🡪 collaborate). These ideas are explored and reinforced using word sums.
Step-by-step guidance for teaching Prefixes and Bases from Latin is available in the Teaching Manual.
