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.

5th Grade MATH Spiral Review & Weekly Assessments Quizzes [PRINTABLE] Test Prep
Yrady O.

Not a "spiral" review

I wanted to like this so much because it was exactly what I wanted. But, Week 1 already starts talking about coordinate grids and volume, standards that aren't covered until later on in the school year. I wish it was organized by the order the standards are taught throughout the school year instead of introducing end-of-year concepts in the first few weeks.

Great Activities, but Limited Direct Instruction

This resource is advertised as a week-long unit, but in practice it functions more like one day of direct instruction followed by several activity days. There is only one PowerPoint for teaching, with the remaining materials focused on practice.

I expected a more balanced structure with instruction and assessment spread across multiple days. For example, I was able to use the PowerPoint and the second day’s worksheet within a single class period, and the “scoot” activity worked well for a separate day. However, I’m unsure how I’ll incorporate the remaining sketch notes, which might have been more effective if directly integrated into the initial instruction.

One major area for improvement is alignment between instruction and assessment. The assessments and task cards include concepts like “to be” verbs and auxiliary verbs, but these are not introduced or modeled in the PowerPoint. This created confusion for my students and could easily be developed into an additional day of instruction.
Overall, the materials are well-designed and engaging, but the unit would benefit from more comprehensive instruction and clearer alignment between teaching and assessment.

I bought this as back up to my printed version. I think that the Google Forms set up is difficult for students to work in and they all have preferred the printed packet.

Julia T.

Is there a list of the roots that are included?

Teacher Thrive

Hello, Julia! Yes, if you download the preview, you will see a list of all roots and words covered in the resource. 

Mercedes M.

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!

Teacher Thrive

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"?

Autumn Den Boer

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!

Teacher Thrive

Thanks for the suggestion, Autumn. While I can't commit to adding this content, I'll definitely consider it for future updates.

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?

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.

Teacher Thrive

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, there isn't a way for me to offer any sort of discount for this.
