Word Mastery through Derivatives Designed for Students of Latin

This workbook is specifically constructed for students studying Latin. Veteran teacher Elizabeth Heimbach organizes English derivatives by topic—two chapters devoted to affixes, twelve chapters presenting special topics like mythology, and eleven chapters featuring grammar-related derivatives like prepositions and deponent verb derivatives. A student-friendly and engaging narrative presents derivatives and demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between Latin and English. The text provides students the skills and practice to apply word-building analysis to their study of both Latin vocabulary and English derivatives.

Special Features:
- twenty-five chapters organized by topic
- five to eight exercises per chapter
- “just for fun” activities for each special topic chapter
- appendices: list of derivatives broken out by chapter and a list of phrases used in English
