Images Building English Vocabulary with Etymology Introduction

The Building English Vocabulary series guides a student through classical prefixes and roots that underlie challenging vocabulary. While Images Books I through III take the student through the Roman past, and Images Book IV the Greek, Images, the Introduction, starts the journey with etymology from the Latin, the origins of that half of the English language that appeals to the intellect and sets a foundation for understanding great literature. Throughout Images, a student avails himself of time proven exercises to connect the prefixes and roots with the meanings of words. A student will discover that from just one root spring a variety of new words that in time yield an exponential growth in his knowledge of English. From cumulative review tests throughout the book, a student can gauge his success in mastering challenging vocabulary.
