WordBuild®, from Dynamic Literacy, is an English vocabulary program for grades 3-12 that is not based on memorization! Students are never given a list of words to memorize. Based on Latin and Greek roots, prefixes and suffixes, the objective of WordBuild is to give students the knowledge they need to be able to analyze unfamiliar words and figure out what they mean. We measure this by giving tests with words that haven’t been studied! We have data that proves this method works. Don’t take our word for it:
Excerpts from A review of Greek and Latin roots vocabulary building curricula
- by Sherene Silverberg, Norfolk Homeschooling Examiner, July 2009
“I was looking for something that taught roots in a way that built slowly, but systematically and did not assume any prior knowledge of roots.”
“I recommend starting off with their Foundations series, as it teaches prefixes and suffixes and builds on students’ prior knowledge by attaching them to words they already know. It comes with extensive teaching notes which I appreciate. Each new suffix/prefix that is introduced has 5 different activities accompanying it. The suggestion is that you do one activity a day and one new word a week. Each activity requires writing.”
“This method of teaching makes sense to me. It’s systematic and simple for the child to understand and for mom to teach. Furthermore, you are reducing brute force memorization. As an added bonus to the teacher, once you’ve purchased one of their products you are given access to a member’s forum where you can access additional worksheets and information. It allows you to look ahead on the series you are working on.”
“WordBuild fits my family’s needs perfectly and I highly recommend it to other homeschoolers”

The skin is a very important and visible part of our body. It is a kind of protective coating on parts of our whole body.
As the attention and care of our bodies, our skin needs a little more care, since it is directly in contact with the outside environment such as dirt, dust and sun. hazardous chemicals that polluted air contains, and bad water are also a cause skin damage before the hour.
