Its second edition, published in 1986, has confirmed that vocabulary is best taught by root, not rote. The importance of learning classical word roots is already acknowledged by vocabulary texts that devote chapters to them. Why a whole book based on this approach? Ayers' text exposes students to a wider range of roots, introduces new English words in context sentences, and reinforces vocabulary through exercises. It promotes more practice with roots so that students learn to use them as tools in their everyday encounters with new words. \u003ci\u003eEnglish Words\u003c\/i\u003e is written from the standpoint of English; it neither attempts to teach students Latin or Greek nor expects a knowledge of classical languages on the part of instructors. Its success has been demonstrated at both the secondary and college levels, and it can be used effectively with students in remedial or accelerated programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Instructor's Manual (gratis with adoption) and a Workbook are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003ePresents an overview of the development of the English language and examines the formation of words especially from Greek and Latin roots.
