- Play and learn Latin Roots
- Prefixes-Roots-Suffixes to read the Latin layer of English
- Gateway to multi-syllable word decoding
Play cards, learn Latin!--the origin of more than 50% of English words. Think fast or your words will get swiped before you can say “CaesarPleaser." Word forming fun with the Latin layer of English: prefixes, roots, and suffixes of hundreds of possible words. Every round will expand your vocabulary.
The game reinforces the morphemic nature of English. Words are composed of meaning units. If one learns the building blocks, one can learn more than 100,000 new words.
“Moving the word parts really helps my students understand what’s going on inside multi-syllable words. It opens a whole new door on decoding them. They are just a series of friendly chunks!
