Recognize and use Latin/Greek roots scrib/script (write), dict (say/speak), vis (see), spect (look)

Extend root-meaning detective routine from fall (act/port/struct/ject/form) with four new roots: SCRIB/SCRIPT (write — manuscript, scribble, prescription, transcribe); DICT (say/speak — dictate, predict, contradict, dictionary); VIS (see — vision, visible, visit, television); SPECT (look — inspect, spectator, spectacle, respect). Apply the 3-step DETECTIVE routine: find the root, predict the meaning, check the dictionary.

Common misconceptions

Confuses scrib/script with the word 'script' alone (a play script), missing the writing-related family.
Treats 'vis' inside 'visit' as the see-root meaning, missing the multi-step etymology.
