LC: Using spelling journals for etymology.
Many of the words, or parts of words, in the English language have come from other languages, both ancient and modern.
Sometimes knowing where words have come from helps us to remember and understand their spelling. This study is called the ‘etymology’ of language and words.
For example of the word sign comes from the French 'signe' and the Latin 'signum', meaning ‘sign’.

☐ Greek ☐ Latin ☐ Other:
Break the word into parts: tele port
What do the parts mean? tele means far and port means to bring.
