Did you know??
• The English language has approximately 2,000,000 words
• Technology contributes 20,000 new words per year
• School texts and reading materials include more than 180,000 different words
• Over 60% of the words students encounter in their reading have recognizable word parts
![Page 15: 5th Grade Back to School Presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55644416d8b42a9f128b4a22/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Word StudyTHEN
• Assigned word lists • Little or no connection to
curricular areas or each other
• The weekly assignment: “Find and write a definition for each word,” or “Use each word in a sentence”
• A test came at the end of the week (rote memorization)
![Page 16: 5th Grade Back to School Presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55644416d8b42a9f128b4a22/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why UseThis New Approach?
• Systematic approach to word awareness and vocabulary building
• 90% of English words of two or more syllables are of Greek or Latin origin
• Most academic vocabulary is derived from Latin and Greek origins
![Page 17: 5th Grade Back to School Presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55644416d8b42a9f128b4a22/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Word StudyNOW
• Word lists are organized through meaningful roots or patterns
• Expand and deepen word knowledge during content-area study
• The weekly assignment: “Meet the Root, Combine and
Create, Read and Reason,
Extend and Explore”
• Applied spelling and language conventions tests
![Page 18: 5th Grade Back to School Presentation](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55644416d8b42a9f128b4a22/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WORD STUDY IN SCHOOLGrades 3, 4,5
• Meet the Root: students define and conquer a list of words as they identify the word parts and roots
• Combine and Create: students combine words built from the root and pattern
• Read and Reason: students read text in which they encounter the word part/root
• Extend and Explore: students create new applications for the vocabulary
