You can make it interesting through the chunking and illustrated sentence example method.

Learn a root word, then examine 5 or 6 words containing that root, each with an illustrated sentence example.

This way you learn words in chunks, and they stay in your memory.

Root word examples:

Slide 6:
The root word is chron which comes from

the Greek word chronos meaning TIME.

So here are some words with that word root

Slide 7:
CHRONIC

meaning continuing for a long time

Slide 8:

Then an illustrated sentence example – He

suffered with chronic back pain.

Slide 9:

Another word CHRONICLE – a record of events in order of time and

Slide 10:
here’s a sentence example from The San Francisco Chronicle newspaper.

Slide 11:
then CHRONOLOGY or CHRONOLOGICAL – the signs of recording events by period or date

Slide 12:
and the example here is of a crazy wall that police investigators use putting events in chronological order.

Slide 13:
then CHRONOMANCY – divination of the best

time to do something the determination

of lucky and unlucky days

Slide 14:
The illustrated sentence example shows Nancy Reagan who often consulted astrologers and use chronomancy.

Slide 15:
and then SYNCHRONIZE – caused to occur at the same time or rate

Slide 16:
In the example we see a television program that is not synchronized with audio and picture.

Slide 17:
So you see by using illustrated sentence examples and these words with the root

word chron you chunk words together:

chronic, chronicle, chronology or chronological, chronomancy, synchronize.

Now with that group in mind you will remember them much more easily and look for more words with that root word chron.
