Description
Greek and Latin Roots! Almost 70% of the English language is derived from Latin and Greek languages. When students learn these “building blocks” it becomes easy for them to recognize and decode unfamiliar words that are related to a known root. It is also increasingly important to explicitly teach students the meanings of Greek and Latin roots as they encounter the very technical vocabulary found in science and other content areas.
This HUGE 282-page resource covers over 60 Greek and Latin roots and 200 different words. Created for grades 5-8.
CLICK HERE for the DIGITAL version.
There are 20 units in this file.
Each unit contains:
*A 4-page student packet, which includes 6 different vocabulary activities
*An individual “Word & Definition Sort”
*A set of 20 “Concentration” game cards
*A complete word wall with “headers” for each root
*A unit assessment
*Also included are unit word lists and answer keys for the student packets.

Great Resource!
I love this resource for my ELL students. This has been a huge help! Thank you!!
HIghly recommend!
This is an excellent resource. The worksheets are easy for kids to follow, while also challenging them with new vocabulary.
Error! I can't open this document anymore.
I purchased this vocabulary last year, and now I am unable to open it. It says that it has special permissions. Please fix it.
Saves time!
I will continue to use these year after year for our Greek and Latin units! I love them and they keep students engaged!

Hi, Unit 3 book 2 powerpoint is not finished. Can you let me know when you update with a completed file? Thanks
Hello. Can you please explain what you mean? This has been finished for quite some time.
is there a answer sheet for this?
Yes, there is an answer key included in the resource.
Hi how do you purchase ?
Hello,
If you are having trouble ordering, please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
I am looking for your Book 2 that is compatible for google classroom also. Do you have the option to purchase both pdf and google doc.?
Hi Nicole! You can find the Google Forms version of Book 2 here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/DIGITAL-Greek-and-Latin-Roots-Book-2-Distance-Learning-5351819
Unfortunately, TpT doesn't have a function that allows us to easily create custom bundles in a way that ensures customers always have the latest version of their resources, so we don't offer this option on TpT. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
I love your products! My school will be doing distance learning for at least the first 4 weeks of school. I have purchased some of your products in the past. Will there be a digital update for the Greek and Latin Roots and Affixes bundles or will I need to purchase another bundle to access the digital version?
Hi Fatemeh! Thanks for reaching out. These are separate resources as the digital versions take 100s of hours to create. Many digital resources out there are simply an image of a worksheet/printable embedded into a Google Slide with blank text boxes pasted on top of them. Creating digital resources in this manner is a simple process that only takes a few hours, and you are more than welcome to adapt the printable version as described for your personal use. Our digital versions are all created in Google Forms, so teachers can save time using the self-grading feature, which is not available in Google Slides. As mentioned above, creating Google Forms is very labor and time-intensive, so we decided to list these separately. You are more than welcome to use the printable versions you own to create your own Google Forms to use with your students only.
I love your work! I used Book 1 for my homeschooler, and now I find myself teaching ELA for middle school. I would like to use Book 2 for my class. However, my school is watching my copy number closely. Have you heard any suggestions on how to use this resource effectively without copying exercise?
Hi Becky! I do have a digital/paperless version here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/DIGITAL-Greek-and-Latin-Roots-Book-2-Distance-Learning-5351819
Is there a book 3 that starts with unit 21 meet me in the middle
We have a Book 1 and a Book 2. Book 1 contains Unit 20: Meet Me in the Middle.
Do Book 1 and 2 contain the same or different roots? Is there a particular order or logic in the way they are taught?
The two books contain different roots and are intended to be taught in the order presented in the material.
I have moved from Book 1 to Book 2. I can't find the vocabulary cards that have the root and the words that go with that root. I used this each week as a classroom display/reference for my students and they often looked at it. Can you tell me if this is available for book 2?
Hi Holly! Yes, those are also included in Book 2. They are start on page 175 of the PDF.
I bought both books in the beginning of this current academic year and I'm just realizing (after already making all the copies for the next few weeks) that by Unit 5 in book two, the worksheets are the same as book 1! However, the powerpoints for book 2 are new words. Has this mistake been fixed?
Hi Jen! I just checked the file, and Unit 5 in Book 2 is "Head to Toe" and Unit 5 in Book 1 is "Express Yourself." I don't see a duplicate unit in either of the two books.
