Here are some more words of Greek origin. It is worth becoming familiar with them.
They easier to spell if you learn the meaning of the root of the word and how to spell it.
We have already met some of these words, so this lesson is more for interest and therefore we have not included a dictation.
If your pupil does not know the meaning of any of these words, do look them up in a dictionary.
Have the pupil study the root of the word as indicated in black below. Then follow the normal lesson plan.
Maybe the pupil would like to write a story using as many of the words as s/he can.
Help the pupil to chunk words where necessary. Say the word and listen for the natural breaks. They often come after the vowel sound. Remember - each chunk of a word must contain a vowel - ora vowel sound (in the case for example of words with 'y' making a vowel sound.)
