For Canadian-born ELLs academic language proficiency is critical. 
 
Many Canadian-born ELLs are raised in families and communities where languages other than English are primarily spoken; for these students English is an additional language. 
 
Most Canadian-born ELLs enter the Ontario publicly funded school system in kindergarten.
 
Some speak a language other than English at home and begin to learn English when they start school. 
 
A smaller proportion of Canadian-born ELLs enter the school system in later grades.
 
Some of these students speak a language in their home other than English and attend schools where that language is also the language of instruction. Later, they enrol in English-language schools.

There is a strong correlation between vocabulary knowledge and academic performance.
 
Our knowledge of words relates both to our education and to the context in which we use and encounter them
 
Knowledge of grammatical patterns and common word-forms can considerably reduce the “learning burden” that ELLs 
 
One way to reduce the learning burden is to group words into word families,
 
Various forms and meanings to be included in a word family should depend on the age and existing vocabulary knowledge of the learner.
