The Dynamic Literacy "WordBuild Series" is a five-year program that's comprised of two series, and can be used at any point from grades 3-12. Reduced-size student pages with the answers overlaid, word lists, and assessment answers are also included. Included weekly, semester, and year-end tests are provided. Each day's lesson includes teaching instructions with classroom direction, scripted questions, discussion guidance, and model lessons for teaching the roots and affixes. Objectives and the materials needed for the lesson are listed at the outset, with a "unit at a glance" chart that quickly illustrates what's being taught on what day.
Elements teacher's guides provide an "advance preparation" section that reviews important prefixes and suffixes. The teacher's guide provides a day-by-day guide to teaching each lesson, as well as assessments and blackline masters. Students will learn how English words are built and discover strategies to determine pieces of meaning embedded in words. Lessons are specifically designed to be fun and engaging, and include fill-in-the-blank, "stair steps," and "magic square," type activities. Elements 1 covers 25 Latin & Greek root families, including roots such as log, fer, reg, dic, ten, ven, fin, scrib and more. Weekly lessons in the student activity book are based on root families, and students are encouraged to make cross-curricular connections.
Helping students to learn the 93 most commonly used Greek & Latin roots in our language, Elements focuses on combining those roots with students' knowledge of prefixes and suffixes to unlock unfamiliar words' meanings.

"WordBuild Elements" provides a bridge between phonics and comprehension by going beyond the standard memorization of vocabulary words to teaching students how to deconstruct new terms. Making the transition from phonics-"learning to read"-to comprehension-"reading to learn" isn't always an easy step.
