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.

My students love using this for Bell Ringer work. The content is very well organized.
The activities are engaging. We really enjoy doing the analogies.
I used this for our high ability WIN time for the students who needed to be challenged yet I do believe this is a great resource for all learners.
My students loved this resource and it is a great follow up to book 1. Thank you!
This is an amazing resource that is used weekly in my classroom. It is put together so well and it is a fun way to review Greek and Latin roots.

I am looking into purchasing your Greek and Latin bundle, however I am curious as to how the analogies section works as there seems to be several correct responses. Is there something that I am not seeing that is making this section very difficult for my students or do you have some helpful tips/advice?
Hi Danielle, The best way to set students up for success for the analogies, its best to teach students the common types of analogies. I have a blog post and a freebies to help you. https://teacherthrive.com/2017/02/teaching-word-analogies.html
Has anyone noticed that the answer key for the analogies and the correct answers are not the same? My partners and I have disagreed with several of the answers that we thought were correct and what the answer key said on several of the pages (Units 9, 12, and 20 to be exact).
Hello! I wonder if you are using an older version. These have been completely edited about a month and a half ago. Download the latest version and any issues should be resolved.
Hello! I'm wondering whether book 1 or 2 is more appropriate for 8th graders. In other words, which book has more advanced vocabulary?
Hi! Book 2 is a bit more difficult than Book 1. However, both could be used in 8th grade. It just depends on your students and the roots you want to cover. I do have Book 1 and Book 2 bundled together.

What does a typical week look like using this resource? About how long is spent on introducing the roots and the activities? I only have a 50 minute ELA block and am just trying to figure out how I can best fit in this great resource. Thanks.
Hello! It really can vary depending on your students. Some people spend two weeks on one unit, which might be best for you since you only have 50 mins.
Just curious :) Have you begun working on Greek and Latin Roots book 3?
Hi Kathleen. No I haven't. I've been so busy and frankly, after making Books 1 and 2, I'm a little "zapped", creatively. I do hope to get to it, I just needed some time while I work on some things that are a little different. Thank you so much for your interest and your patience.
Hi there!
I am actively using these books every week in my middle school ELA classes. Most students are studying the 10 basic words every week, but I have some students who are also studying the "extra" words found on the word lists. I just wondered if you might consider creating an "expansion" pack of activities or quizzes that include both the regular words and the extension words?
Hi Katherine! I will definitely keep the suggestion in mind. I am not sure when/if I will be able to add an "expansion pack," but you do have my wheels turning:-)
