Build Vocabulary. Strengthen Comprehension. Teach Meaning.
Students can decode words but comprehension breaks down when they don’t understand what those words mean.
Our Greek & Latin Root Magnets give students a clear, hands-on way to unlock meaning and build academic vocabulary that sticks. Designed for explicit, Science of Reading aligned morphology instruction, these magnets make morphology visible and teachable. These magnets can be used with any curriculum.
This is the missing link between phonics and true reading comprehension.
