Why We Teach Word Origins

When children understand why words are spelled a certain way, spelling becomes logical rather than random memorization.

Transport

From Latin "trans" (across) + "portare" (to carry). Understanding this root helps spell import, export, portable, and more!

Predict

From Latin "pre" (before) + "dicere" (to say). To predict is to "say before" something happens.

Etymology instruction improves spelling retention by up to 40%. Based on Templeton & Bear (2018), reading and spelling research.
