A compilation of words grouped by shared root words, presented in a portable document format, serves as a resource for vocabulary expansion and literacy development. For instance, a resource might group words like “act,” “action,” “acting,” and “active” together, demonstrating their common origin and related meanings.
Such a resource offers significant benefits for both educators and learners. It can accelerate vocabulary acquisition, improve spelling skills by highlighting patterns, and deepen understanding of word meanings through etymological connections. Historically, these compilations have been used to promote language learning and provide a structured approach to vocabulary enrichment.
