Word Buildingthe foundation for success begins with Barbara Gylys and the Body Systems Approach.

The med term approaches and how they differ�

Most med terms books teach by memorizationthe whole word approach.Memorize vocabulary and then try to recognize word patterns. Gylysuses the word-building approach. First learn the patterns of medicalwords before you learn the vocabulary.

Why does word-building work? It begins with the basics�

Gylys takes a common sense approach, by introducing word elements first:

Roots
Combining forms
Suffixes
Prefixes

She covers them one by one, breaking down each word part. CommonEnglish word elements are presented� This familiarity makes it easierfor students to learn and break apart and build words. Students canuse their understanding of word parts to decipher vocabulary.

Mnemonic devices, interactive activities (in the book and on the CD)make word-building fun and this in turn increases retention�no more tedious memorization, students learn by breaking down and rebuilding words!

From my years of teaching, I found it was much easier forstudents to learn word parts directly associated with a body system (orspecialty area), and this has been the key to my approach in all of mytexts and software products.
