Hi Students - for those of you still looking for a reliable daily vocab/root word site, Roots2Words is a really, really good one! It even has weekly quizzes to go along with daily vocab/root word training. I have had a (free) subscription to this Substack site for about a month, and I wholeheartedly endorse its content. It would be great for any student looking to expand their vocab and knowledge of root words, whether for test prep or just general knowledge. Enjoy!

Hi there students! Today's roots are again from Greek and Latin. See how many root words you can identify that contain each of these stems. "cand-" (Latin) - glowing. From the Latin verb candere, "to glisten." Examples of English words: candle, candelabra, incandescent "cardi-" (Greek) - relating to the heart. From the Greek noun cardia, "heart." Examples of English words: cardio, cardiology, echocardiogram. Have fun with it!

Hey there students! Today's roots come from Greek and Latin: Latin: "ambi-" = "both" Greek: "arche-/archae-" = "ancient" How many English words can you come up with from these roots? Make sure you use the meaning of the root in your short definition of each word. Example: ambidextrous - meaning someone who is able to use both hands equally. archaeology - the study of (-ology) ancient civilizations Good luck!!

Examples: a "hemophiliac" is a person whose blood doesn't clot in the same way as most people's do. The term literally means "lover of blood" (as the root "philios" is greek for "love" or "friendship"). Other words that use this root: hemoglobin (the main protein in blood), hematoma (a blood clot), hemorrhage (bleeding from a wound), and many others.
