Great for tutoring

As a tutor I have used this book and this series for over 10 years with ESL and other students from 5th grade through high school. The short, easy lessons provide a great introduction to these important parts of language. They do not require much "homework" time to do, so students willingly do one a week. I recommend this series for tutors and teachers.

Great teaching aid.

Reviews 30 prefixes. Each prefix is given two pages. A list of example words with the prefix and a picture to go with one of the words (i.e. antibiotic and a picture of a pill bottle with pills around it). Great for visual learners. The 2nd page is a review of the words and some fill in the blank.Two sister books about more prefixes and roots are Word Strength and Word Wisel.
