By the time a student learns the word \u201cresearch,\u201d they usually already know the word \u201csearch,\u201d so you can point out that \u201cresearch\u201d includes the word \u201csearch\u201d and the prefix \u201cre-\u201d (which means \u201cto do again\u201d).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re researching something, you might search for it again and again on Google; hence, research!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this explanation may seem obvious to us, this is (un)fortunately not the case with most students. After all, word parts usually aren\u2019t mentioned in dictionary definitions. For example, here is our definition of \u201cresearch\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/JuvlYK71wi8KOH5cJLZ02qaMAC5owODigeSCV8YzAbJpMxefwia77W4Dnr01Ati0GpYCqMmcy9-IqkR1rORIoYTTwQozC1k9GZlFBpeR77j2wTHWzY5SXNoGq3FNAF5zMiZtTRCH\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And here is how we define \u201cillegally\u201d (notice the word \u201clegal\u201d is not mentioned at all):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/AVSYo0a5BuUYYMvPtjAos944TQ9Pyp48nnLCEBaCCAmsHyp9ciWBuHzO5bUBYSJYhWGWc1V1OkMWRawdKHkauHwFxzctyAke-23GOHYJOSaK5d4dPwUIHfDKlifIhClAdCOn-Je3\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So don\u2019t be surprised if your student\u2019s face lights up when you point out the connections between \u201cresearch\u201d and \u201csearch,\u201d \u201cillegal\u201d and \u201clegal,\u201d and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure to consider whether students will know the word part you\u2019re pointing out. For example, students usually learn the word \u201choliday\u201d as beginners. The word \u201choliday\u201d includes the words \u201choly\u201d and \u201cday.\u201d However, a beginner is unlikely to know the word \u201choly,\u201d so introducing it as part of the word \u201choliday\u201d here will be confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Word_Parts_Cheat_Version\"><\/span>Word Parts (Cheat Version)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all words can be neatly broken down into parts that reflect their history, so sometimes we have to \u201ccheat\u201d a bit to make them memorable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say the word \u201cmold\u201d appears in a reading. By the time a student encounters \u201cmold,\u201d they should have already mastered \u201cold,\u201d so you can help them remember this new word with a sentence like, \u201cold things grow mold<em>.<\/em>\u201d The two words aren\u2019t actually related but making this connection can still help students memorize the word \u201cmold\u201d faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/u\/0\/d\/smfl226ptST9YMUNMaHHkmA\/image?w=624&amp;h=261&amp;rev=118&amp;ac=1&amp;parent=1qlRkqpluzv4kO_bkrfBwfTjNYOBAZndBI09lDbFYdkA\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s try another one: \u201chesitate.\u201d We can break this word into \u201che,\u201d \u201csit,\u201d and \u201cate\u201d and have students imagine a man who can\u2019t decide whether to sit or to eat (past tense: ate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something (aside from your imagination) that you can refer to for help is the <a href=\"https:\/\/mnemonicdictionary.com\/\">Mnemonic Dictionary<\/a>, where learners share their mnemonics for big words. For example, there is an entry for the word \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/mnemonicdictionary.com\/?word=obsequious\">obsequious<\/a>.\u201d One person suggests relying on the second syllable, which sounds like \u201cseek\u201d as a memory aid: when you seek help, you\u2019re willing to be obsequious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparison\"><\/span>Comparison<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also make a word easier-to-remember by comparing it to similar-looking words the student already knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, by the time a student encounters the word \u201cdelirious,\u201d they probably already know \u201cdelicious.\u201d So you can encourage them to imagine someone going delirious, because they can\u2019t eat their favorite delicious food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or let\u2019s say the word \u201csweat\u201d appears on a vocabulary list. You can help them remember it by pointing out that the word \u201cswim,\u201d which your student probably already knows, also starts with \u201csw-.\u201d Your student can imagine someone swimming in sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/u\/0\/d\/sef0yObtGgD2RZghXy3OUMg\/image?w=624&amp;h=365&amp;rev=156&amp;ac=1&amp;parent=1qlRkqpluzv4kO_bkrfBwfTjNYOBAZndBI09lDbFYdkA\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And when your student learns the word \u201cdesert\u201d and confuses it with \u201cdessert,\u201d you can tell them that dessert has two S\u2019s, because you always want seconds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that you don\u2019t need to come up with all these comparisons all by yourself. You can ask your student if certain new words remind them of words they already know. For instance, if your student says that \u201csweat\u201d reminds them of \u201csweet.\u201d you can reply, \u201cbut sweat is not sweet at all, right?!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Takeaways\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Takeaways<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>We went over a few ways to help students connect new words to old words, allowing the new ones to better \u201cstick\u201d in their memory:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/drawings\/u\/0\/d\/sypE_sordS98blsrSK1qAdw\/image?w=624&amp;h=317&amp;rev=496&amp;ac=1&amp;parent=1qlRkqpluzv4kO_bkrfBwfTjNYOBAZndBI09lDbFYdkA\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next time you see a vocabulary list, take a minute to think about which words you can apply these tricks to!
