Root Awakenings: Vocabulary Development Using Classical Word Roots

This book is an ideal basic text for courses devoted primarily to vocabulary enrichment and word history. It may also be used in First-year composition and rhetoric classes as well as in developmental college reading-and-writing skills courses. Because the pacing of the material and test difficulty can be readily adjusted to different learning levels, Root Awakenings is also highly suitable for accelerated college-preparatory classes at the secondary school level.
Included is stystematic coverage of nearly 400 classical word elements, along with creative and stimulating exercises and questions.
Instructors manual available.
