Introduce your child to the magic of Root Words!
Root words are one of the most important tools you can give a child to enhance their word skills. So much of our English language comes from key Root Words. When a child learns one of these "magic words", he unlocks many more words that have the same root. So children can easily boost vocabulary because learning one word organically teaches him so many more! The first of its kind, Root Word Rudy introduces these "magical" words through the fun of an adventure in a picture book.

ASTRO comes from the Greek word for "star" or celestial body. Once a child learns this, they know that whenever they see "Astro", it has something to do with stars or space! "Astro" is at the root of many modern English words,
NAUT means "sailor", or "sailing".
From this moment on, when a child hears "Naut", they will instantly associate the word with something to do with sailing or the sea.
Put it together!
