But studying word roots is really boring, right?<\/p><p>No! At least, it doesn\u2019t have to be. And Word Trees are my favorite way to teach words derived from Latin roots\u2014and make it engaging to boot!<\/p><p><!--more--><\/p><p>Check out this 30-second Word Tree demo.<\/p><div class=\"video-container large\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" class=\"video youtube\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3CxSxPvTxAI?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><p>Download your <a href=\"https:\/\/downloads.allaboutlearningpress.com\/downloads\/Teaching-Latin-Roots-with-Word-Trees.pdf\">free Word Trees and list of Latin Roots<\/a>, and then read on for some tips for using them.<\/p><h2>Why Is It Helpful to Know Latin Roots?<\/h2><p>Think about the Latin root <em><span class=\"italic\">scrib<\/span>\/<span class=\"italic\">script<\/span><\/em>, which means <em><span class=\"italic\">to write<\/span><\/em>. When you add <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/prefixes\/\" title=\"how to teach prefixes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prefixes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/suffixes\/\" title=\"how to teach suffixes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suffixes<\/a> to the root, you can create many new words that all have something to do with writing, such as <em><span class=\"italic\">subscriber<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">scripture<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">inscribed<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">description<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">postscript<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">prescription<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">scribbling<\/span>, <\/em>and <em><span class=\"italic\">unscripted<\/span><\/em>.<\/p><p>It\u2019s like an 8-for-1 deal: you learn one Latin root, and you get eight words in return. And when you come across a less familiar word like <em><span class=\"italic\">scriptorium<\/span><\/em>, you can recognize the root <em><span class=\"italic\">script,<\/span><\/em> which in turn gives you a head start on understanding the word's meaning and spelling.<\/p><p>(In case you are wondering, a <span class=\"italic\">scriptorium<\/span> is a room set aside for writing. That makes sense, given that <em><span class=\"italic\">script<\/span><\/em> means <em><span class=\"italic\">to write<\/span><\/em> and <em><span class=\"italic\">-orium<\/span><\/em> is a suffix meaning <em><span class=\"italic\">a place for<\/span><\/em>.)<\/p><p>So it's probably easy for you to see why I\u2019m such a huge fan of learning Latin roots!<\/p><h2>Is Your Child Ready for Word Trees?<\/h2><p>If you can answer yes to these three questions, your child is at the right stage to benefit from Word Tree activities:<\/p><ol class=\"large aalp-blue\"><li><span class=\"bold\">Does your child know how to spell <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/open-and-closed-syllables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">closed syllables<\/a>?<\/span> Closed syllables are syllables that end in a consonant, such as <em><span class=\"italic\">sub<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">tract<\/span>, <span class=\"italic\">con<\/span><\/em>, and <em><span class=\"italic\">rupt<\/span><\/em>.

In many cases, the meaning of the root is just a clue to the meaning of the word. For example, the word <em><span class=\"italic\">introspection<\/span><\/em> comes from the prefix <em><span class=\"italic\">intro<\/span><\/em> (meaning <em><span class=\"italic\">inward<\/span><\/em>) and the root <em><span class=\"italic\">spect<\/span><\/em> (meaning <em><span class=\"italic\">to look<\/span><\/em>). We can\u2019t literally translate the word to <em><span class=\"italic\">inward look<\/span><\/em>, but we can get the gist of the real meaning, which is <span class=\"italic\">an examination of thoughts and feelings<\/span>.<\/p><p>Also, for this particular activity, your student doesn't need to memorize the meaning of the root words or recite them back. As long as he becomes familiar with the meanings, he will be able to recognize the root in other words, and spelling will become easier.<\/p><p>My hope is that as your child actively explores words in this unusual way, he will develop a positive attitude and curiosity about the words around him \u2026 and hopefully increase his motivation to learn more!<\/p><p>Would you like step-by-step lessons that help you teach spelling in a hands-on way? <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> was written for parents and teachers like you!<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-spelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/AAS-With-Buttons-No-Cards-750x290.png\" alt=\"All About Spelling - take the struggle out of spelling\" width=\"750\" class=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/p><p>Do you think your child would like the Word Trees approach?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how to use Word Trees to help your child become familiar with Latin roots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Teach Latin Roots with Word Trees + free download and video!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Looking for an effective way to teach words that contain Latin roots?
