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 resource combines the instructional value of Greek and Latin roots with the active engagement of Interactive Notebooks. Included are 120 Interactive Notebook activities that will help your students understand the meaning of several words related to over 130 different roots! Each root activity covers 3-8 preselected words. However, blank templates are also included so that you can select your own words. In addition to the Interactive Notebook pages, you will also get word and definition lists for each root.

★★★$AVE: This is part of my The Ultimate Vocabulary Bundle★★★

The perfect companion ▶ All About Affixes Interactive Notebook!

UPDATE: After many requests, this resource now includes EVERY root (and more) from my Get to the Root of It Books!

Great resource

These are SO much fun to do with kids and it helps them truly understand roots!

Margaret H.

Amazing resource

I use this resource almost every week with my students. It has everything you could ever need.

Allyson E.

Fantastic resource!!

Another great resource from Teacher Thrive! Her products are top notch, and you will not regret purchasing any of her times.

I bought this, along with the Greek/Latin Sketch Notes and the worksheets, as well as the same products with the prefix/suffix focus. They are all amazing, and worth every. single. penny!

Interactive Notebook

This is an excellent resource. I like the step by step instructions as to how to put each page of this interactive notebook together. My middle school students are going to enjoy using this resource.

Haley Thompson

I love them

My kids really enjoyed these last year! I will use it again next year for sure.

Anna Laura R.

I love this! I only teach Latin though, is there a separate buy for only Latin?
Thanks!!

Teacher Thrive

Hello! I don’t have the Latin activities available separately.

Amy B.

I teach 4th grade and know I can't get through all of these in a year...do you have a list of recommended roots for each grade level?

Teacher Thrive

You most likely won’t be able to get through this in a year—it’s huge! I have a free flip book (link below) that has the most commonly used roots. I’d start with those. https://teacherthrive.com/2015/12/free-vocabulary-builder-flip-book.html

Danielle C.

Hello!
I purchased Get to the Root of It Book 1 and I was wondering if the materials for the interactive notebook align with the roots that are included in book 1 of Get to the Root of It? I wanted to double check before I purchase this. Thank you!!

Teacher Thrive

Hi Danielle, All of the roots in Get to the Root of it Books have an activity in the interactive notebook. There actually many more roots in the interactive notebook that are not included in the Get to the Root of It Books.

Stephanie J.

This notebook is perfect and covers so many Greek and Latin roots that I want to cover with my 5th graders. Do you have word lists and assessments or quizzes that go along with these specific units? For example, a complete word list for words containing ‘ped’ and a quiz to go with. This is a great resource!

Teacher Thrive

Hi Stephanie! I do have this resource that includes assessments. You can download the preview to see what roots are covered. Every root in these books has an activity in the Interactive Notebook resource.

Christina S.

Do you have a version of this that can be used in Google Classroom?

Teacher Thrive

Hello! I do not have a digital version of this resource. Thanks for asking!

Elizabeth C.

Hi, I meant in the notebook, not the free week. I have to teach the following: fact, mega, min, cap, cred, demo, fort, ped, pod, vac, dict, photo, infra, struct, script, manu, aqua, phono, tact, vert, anthro, corp, flect, fract, gram, mort, path, pos, trans, scend, ject, reg, graph, astro, dur, nom, gener, port, mal, retro. Are these included?

Teacher Thrive

Hi Elizabeth. Please download the preview file to see a full list of the roots covered in the Interactive Notebook.

Darla Warrior

Hi. I really like the G/L Interactive Handouts. I have two now that would not print. I had the school's tech person look at the two pages, but she could not figure out why they would not print. Can I get the page(s) that won't print?

Teacher Thrive

Not to worry. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact

Megan A.

Do you have any materials like this interactive notebook for the prefixes auto- and tele- ?

Teacher Thrive

Hi Megan,

I do not have INB activities for those morphemes.

Melissa V.

Are you going to do these with the Option 1 (hand out) and Option 2 like your Language Interactive Notebook?

Teacher Thrive

Hi Melissa! This resource only comes in the traditional INB format.

Yvette G.

Hi,
I noticed that the roots are the same as your G&L roots curriculum and PPT, but some words are different in the interactive notebook. I was hoping to use the three products together. (such as word for mar)

Teacher Thrive

Hi Yvette! While the roots match up, I did use some different words to add variety. However, there are also blank Interactive Notebook pages so you can still use which ever words you like.
