A story of great deeds that led to peace between humans and animals
Etymology comes from the Greek word etymos = true, and is the study of the true meaning
of words through their origins. THE IMAGICAL POWER OF ETYMOLOGY was created to
give students a clear understanding of words and a better command of the language.
THE IMAGICAL POWER OF ETYMOLOGY
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug!" -- Mark Twain
The rate of learning is exponential - by assimilating a single root students will acquire an immediate understanding of many other words -even words they had never seen or heard before.
NOTE TO PARENTS AND EDUCATORS: We encourage you to include the study of Etymology in your curriculum. No other single resource can match the benefits of learning this art, because word roots are found in all academic disciplines, including language arts, math, and science. Request our free teachers' lesson plans, and inquire about our teachers' workshop.
Increased vocabulary and better reading comprehension result in higher test scores!
