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.
Download the preview to see what a complete unit looks like and to get a list of all roots and words included in this resource.

I like the set-up, but I have to go in and change several things b/c the exercises don't require the students to do what is required of the actual Common Core standard. Ex, students do know figurative language. The Daily Language wants the students to find the origin, meaning & write a sentence. The origin is not part of the standard. I feel it's better for the students to determine the meaning using context clues (instead of just looking it up), then write their own sentence. Instead, I give them a sentence using the idiom. Then they must determine, the meaning using the context clues I've provided in the sentence. Then they must write their own sentence using the idiom. I do the same thing for the proverb/adage on the Wednesday section.
The prefix section- I change it around & have the students to identify the prefix. Determine the meaning of the prefix, then then the meaning of the word. I do understand that when creating this product, it's created to serve teachers all over that may have different standard that they must follow. I'd like to send examples of how I tweak the Daily Language.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. While the origin is not part of the standard, students find this information very interesting and knowing the origin does help students retain the meaning. I will also add that the act of finding the origin is a common core standard: "Consult reference materials (e.g., dictionaries, glossaries, thesauruses), both print and digital, to find the pronunciation and determine or clarify the precise meaning of key words and phrases." I am happy to hear that you have been able to adapt this resource to meet your teaching needs, though.
Kind of high expectations before reading -- concepts are challenging for many younger students with nothing concrete from which to build references. With the right group, it would be great.
great resource
Very clear. My only suggestion would be more text structures and lines in the boxes.
I downloaded this file and had a hard time printing the interactive cards in the format I see on the screen. It is printing in portrait and not landscape to fit the 3M sticky notes. I will keep trying to figure this out.
Hi Monique. This is the first I am hearing of this issue. Please make sure you are opening and printing the file from the latest version of Adobe Reader. If you still need help, contact TpT customer support. They will resolve the issue.

Is there a list of the roots that are included?
Hello, Julia! Yes, if you download the preview, you will see a list of all roots and words covered in the resource.
Hi! I'm curious what order you suggest using these resources. Previously I was teaching one root at a time, so I'm wondering how I can switch to teaching multiples at a time without causing confusion. Should I show the slideshow first and introduce the vocab words? Then assign the doodle notes or the packets? Thanks!
Hello! Each unit is designed to last a week. Starting off with the PowerPoint is best. Then you can break up the exercises and other activities throughout the week.
Does this resource contain the same words found in your "Greek and Latin Roots Sketch Notes"?
Hello. I LOVE this resource! I was wondering though if you could add two things.
First, I wish it had spiral review on the assessments.
Second, I wish there were assessments of the roots themselves. It wouldn't need to be for each unit, but maybe every four units. Tha k you for considering!
Thanks for the suggestion, Autumn. While I can't commit to adding this content, I'll definitely consider it for future updates.

Is there a way to convert the pages to Spanish?
Hello! Thank you so much for letting me know. I have corrected the error.
During the Black Friday sale I accidently purchased the print version instead of the digital one. I've been using the digital version of Book 1 purchased by my school. Is there any way to change my purchase to the digital version?
Hello! Due to the digital nature of these resources, we don't offer returns or exchanges. However, if you have yet to download a resource, you can contact TpT to see if they can make an exception.

If I have purchased your Book 1 and now I am ready to buy book 2, do you give any type of discount for this situation? When I bought book 1 I wasn't sure how long it would take me to get through all of it since I was at a new school. If not, I totally understand and will be purchasing Book 2 anyways as I love this resource.
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, there isn't a way for me to offer any sort of discount for this.
