2. Improves Reading Comprehension : Recognizing word families helps you decode the meaning of unfamiliar words in context. If you encounter “lector” (reader), you can connect it to “leer” (to read), which improves comprehension.
3. Enhances Language Learning Efficiency : Instead of memorizing individual words, learning word families allows you to understand the structure and meaning of a group of words at once, saving time and effort.
4. Aids in Grammar Mastery : Word families often follow patterns that are useful for mastering conjugation, gender, or word endings. For example, words ending in -tion are usually feminine (nation, conversation).
5. Promotes More Natural Communication : Using related words from the same family allows you to express ideas more naturally and with variety, helping your speaking and writing become richer and more fluent.

By practicing word families, you’ll notice that your vocabulary grows more organically, and you’ll be able to express yourself with more precision and creativity.
