Word Building—the 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 memorization—the whole word approach.
  • Memorize vocabulary and then try to recognize word patterns.

• Gylys uses the word-buildingapproach.
  • First learn the patterns of medical words before you learn the vocabulary.

• 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.
• Common English word elements are presented…
  • This familiarity makes it easier for students to learn and break apart and build words.
  • Students can use 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 for students to learn word parts directly associated with a body system (or specialty area), and this has been the key to my approach in all of my texts and software products.”
—Barbara A. Gylys
