Dictionary of Root Words: Greek and Latin Roots (English Word Power)

If you like words, you will love this book. If you know even a part of the root YOU can just about figure out the meaning of a word. I enjoyed just flipping through and picking out words.( yes I DO have a life, really ) I just like learning things like this. If I know the root, I'm not running to the dictionary every five minutes.it A good book.

I bought Normon Lewis's Word Power Made Easy in the 1960s in HS; used it in LPN school, and College too. I was expecting the same format as in Root,Pre & Suffixes and Homonyms ( as in your books ). The new format( in Lewis's book )not what I was looking for. Yours is very helpful & what I was looking for. This will be good in elementary school and up, to build vocabulary power.🙂

If you’re a word person, buy the book!

I have been using root words, prefixes and suffixes as a means of helping my ESL students gain a strong position in developing a stronger vocabulary. This book offers the student the opportunity to learn the roots of many of our words but at the same time learn the frequently used words from those roots.

It was okay.

Bought it for a friend taking a State Exam. Then my niece who is in Pharmacy School saw it and didn't know something like it existed and I bought the next one for her. Same answer to the next question.

My students are always overwhelmed with a middle school unit on roots. I bought this book for their use during activity time to reinforce the requirements and expectations. Students reported in the end-of-the-year survey, that this book and the one of affixes made a huge difference in their ability to learn roots. Voted best reference materials in the classroom.

So informative. I’ve been looking for a book like this for a long time and glad I found it.
