“…etymology should not prove an ‘enrichment’ bolt-on for a select few, but instead an integral aspect of how we communicate the academic language of school to make it understood, giving children the requisite tools to grow their vocabulary.”
Alex Quigley, Closing the Vocabulary Gap
Word-Roots.com offers an online, interactive (and enjoyable!) teacher seminar on the origins of English words. The ninety-minute session covers the evolution of the English language and the role of Latin and Ancient Greek in modern vocabulary. Attendees gain not only useful subject knowledge of word roots but also practical strategies and resources for helping their students develop a lifelong ‘vocabulary tool kit’.
Ideal for those educating students aged 7 and above.
Cost: £100 per seminar, with full funding available for UK state schools
