Product Description
For more than forty years, English Words from Latin and Greek Elements, by Donald M. Ayers, has shown thousands of students the way to a broader vocabulary by teaching them to recognize the classical roots found in many English words. When the second edition of that text appeared in 1986, it was joined by a workbook that has proven exceptionally popular in reinforcing those vocabulary skills. Each lesson in the Workbook complements the text with a variety of exercises: short-answer, matching, multiple choice, word analysis, fill-in-the-blank, and true-false. The Workbook has now been revised to make it more relevant and useful. It features a new dictionary exercise and word analysis exercises, the replacement of true-false exercises that have caused the most difficulty for students, and the elimination of archaic words and other items that have become dated. The authors have also improved the clarity of the instructions for individual exercises, in some cases adding notes or providing sample answers. As part of the revised front matter, there is a new introduction written just for students to help them get the most out of the workbook. English Words and the Workbook have met with unqualified success in English and Classics courses at both the advanced secondary and college levels. This revision of the Workbook helps to ensure the continuing relevance of the roots approach to vocabulary building for tomorrows students.

 English words from Latin and Greek Elements September 16, 2008
I wish it came with a key. It is difficult to consistently read the mind of the authors to determine what answers they are looking for.
 Good understanding January 30, 2008
I'm planning to use the text and workbook with my kids in high school. It provides a good understanding of the etymology of English words and how Greek and Latin roots affect the English language. This text is helpful for those seeking to improve both their spelling and vocabulary skills. The text could also help boost SAT and ACT scores while providing a well-rounded education.
 Lacks a complete answer key December 22, 2007
For the majority of the quizzes, there is no answer key. Only the "major review sections" have one. Because of this I felt discouraged and lost right from the start. This may not be the book to get if you are trying to learn the topic on your own.
That is why I gave this workbook a low rating.
