Greek and Latin for Cryptomaniacs!
Description:
Greek and Latin for Cryptomaniacs!, a student workbook, guides third to sixth graders (and beyond) to 300 cool Greek and Latin roots. Alphy, the Microcyanosaurus (small blue dino), helps build strong vocabulary with roots that will last a lifetime. This companion to Edith Hope Fine’s Cryptomania! Teleporting into Greek and Latin with the CryptoKids follows the adventures of the CryptoKids (crypto = hidden) as they hunt for clues hidden in big words. The perfect tool for teachers, students, homeschoolers, families, tutors, and logophiles, this 126-page workbook strongly supports Common Core State Standards.
Students play with Word Trails and CryptoCrosswords, review roots with Logoscopes (logo = word, scope = look at). Students discover a phototropic experiment, meet number roots, design a monogram, create their own Teleporter, and draw and write about their own imaginary critters (like a Dinoctopterasaur, a terrible eight-winged dino). “Dig Deeper” factoids challenge and enrich. With Greek and Latin Glossaries, students gain easy access to all 300 roots covered in the workbook. (Answer key included.)
Once kids know that pachy = thick and derm = skin, they know why hippos, rhinos, and elephants are called pachyderms. Students meet real dinos and invented ones (like Octocertops, Bicephalosaur, and Polychromopod). They explore eight Teleporter destinations (like the Classical World and Mathopolis); bonus pages in Teleporting Farther feature cognates, binary, music words, prefixes, suffixes, and more.
