Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Vocabulary & Writing Prompts. I would like to ask you to check out the Homeschool Resources I’ve shared with you and let me know if you’ve used these resources with your students or not.
WordBuild is based on morphology, the study of units of meaning – roots, prefixes, and suffixes, so there is no memorizing word lists. It can help expand vocabulary and improve reading comprehension in just 10-15 minutes per day.
The New York Times: The Learning Network– Grades 8-12, with parental supervision
