This is a “stand alone” resource that any teacher can use. However, If you are using my Get to the Root of It Practice Printables, Deck 1 is based on the roots from Book 1 and Deck 2 is base on the roots from Book 2

I taught 6th grade and used the 6th grade version with great success. So when I had a 5/6 combo I purchased the 5th grade version. However, I found this to be very hard for my 5th graders. I will not use for 5th grade.
This was a very good resource. It was repetitive and didn’t spiral as much as I would have liked, but when used in conjunction with other spiral resources, it was a gem!
The Depth and Complexity Mega Bundle was a bit deceiving. The Author of this project only used a few of Sandra Kaplan's prompts symbols. Some the illustrations used for the prompts do not match Sandra Kaplan's. We are mandated as a Gifted/Talented School, to implement Sandra Kaplan's Curriculum. The Author should have made that clear when the buyer "previews" her project. I would not have purchased it, had I know the illustrations do not match. Hilda Marino
Hi Hilda. All of the preview images and thumbnails clearly show the icons that are used. I am not sure which previews you’re referring to that confused you on what is included.
I wish there was a teacher's copy of this set, but it's a well put together resource for the students!
These daily reviews align beautifully with 6th grade common core curriculum. I used them for about half the year and my students were able to get a relatively firm grasp of all the concepts. We found some of the root word exercises to be a bit random, frustrating, inapplicable to 6th grade. Students also eventually became bored with the repetitive weekly work and were able to identify patterns that led to shortcuts in work completion and therefore less absorption. This is when we switched to other grammar exercises for the rest of the year.
Would I use this again. Definitely. It has its merits. I would probably provide more focused teaching on each concept, skip or replace some root words exercises and spread out the weekly worksheets to every other or every third week throughout the year. I also found the companion weekly assessments program very helpful for summative assessment and will use that again too.

i downloaded my purchase to my mac and it is asking for a password to open it. what is the password? Thank You
Hello. You do not need a password to open the file. Please open with Adobe reader.
So all the cards in deck 1, set 1 would go in the fish pond face down? If I had aqua in my hand I would ask "Do you have water?" If the answer was no, I would draw a card? Then if a student had aqua in their hand and drew water, they would put them both down as a pair? Could it be used as concentration too?
Hello, Amy! Yes, the game would be played just as you described, and yes, they could be used to play concentration.
Are there directions in the final product for how to play with these cards besides that it’s a Go Fish game, or can you share how you use it? I did see the suggestion to print back sides in two different colors but am not sure how to accomplish that either.
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, there are explicit instructions in the full resource.
Are there blank cards to add your own roots/words to?
Thanks for reaching out! There is not.
How should I set this file up to print? Is the black and white page the back to all the other cards? There just wasn't clarification in the direction. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Yes, the black and white page are for the backside of each card.
How do you play the game? Is it a matching game?
Hello! It's similar to "go fish." There are different size decks students can play with to increase/decrease difficulty.
