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.

Nice Resource
This is a fun and creative way to review base words with my students. I've paired it with the workbook pages for a more complete study.
Fabulous resource
I love the variety and creativity with this resource. I love that students can take ownership with their own learning. Thank you for creating these.
Colorful and Expressive
Students enjoyed creating a colorful wall display by using the morphology they learned.
Engaging and memorable
These interactives are concrete and help the students remember what the root means and how to use them. Well-designed!
Well crafted resource
A nice create way to approach morphology. We've been using these for years and they've been a nice way to add in an interactive component that is also challenging.

Hi, I am a bit unfamiliar with interactive notebooks and I'm wondering if this will work in a binder with loose leaf paper?
Hi There! Yes, you could implement with a loose leaf binder. However, a spiral notebook will hold up better, and a composition notebook is even better.
Hi! What kind of notebook have you found works the best?
The Composition Book type? Or a spiral 8.5x11?
Hello! I like the composition notebooks best. They are more durable. The activities in this resource will fit in either type.
Can you please fix the aud pages to say audi? According to Dr. Tim Rasinski it is audi. Thanks! :)
Thanks, Courtney! I will look into this and make any necessary changes.
When I print the Greek and Latin IAN, the following appears in the middle of every page: taco tico sbr miafozzle. I deleted the first download, but the problem was consistent with the second download as well. I was at first concerned that the issue might be with my computer or printer, but none of the products that I purchased at the same time have any printing issues. If you can help with this, I would be especially appreciative. Your product will work well with the methods I use by Kylene Beers to teach roots and affixes to struggling readers. Thanks so much.
Hi there! Please make sure you are opening and printing the file from the latest version of Adobe Reader. This will resolve any issues you might be having. You can download it for free here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
Please let me know if this doesn't help.
This notebook looks amazing! I know my students would love it! I'm looking at my schedule trying to see if I can find the time to fit this in. Any guess about how long it would take a class of 4th graders to do a page? Also, how many pages/roots do you recommend per week?
Hi! My guess would be about 30 minutes. You could always have them assemble the page in one block of time and then write the words and definitions during another period of time. They will definitely get faster as the year goes on. I would recommend one page a week at first.
Hi,
This is the only way I found to contact you. I was looking at the preview of your Greek and Latin Interactive Notebook and noticed a mistake. Years ago when my daughter was in 5th grade I was going over spelling words with her and my mother corrected my spelling of foilage to foliage. Anyway, your root for leaf is shown as foil and not foli. I made the same mistake and still remember!
Once I scrolled down to the table of contents, I saw the mistake was fixed. Delete this if you wish.
Debbie
Hi Debbie! Thank you for contacting me! I fixed that mistake about a week ago so the new file is now correct. The picture of the assembled page still shows "foil," though; I need to get around to making a new one for demo purposes:-)
Hi - this product looks amazing!! I did notice in your preview that maybe auto-correct had "had its way" with you :o). The Latin stem for "leaf" is foli- and on your activity, as well as in the table of contents, it reads as foil. Just thought I'd let you know. Have a great day. :o)
Thanks, Lorri! I will correct asap! Grrr:-)
Thank you so much for this resource? We homeschool from a classical perspective and my daughter struggles with learning vocabulary. This is just perfect. I have two questions? Does a standard composition book do OK holding all of these additional papers? Does regular paper hold up to use or should we use card stock?
Hello! A standard composition notebook will hold all of the additional papers if you use plain copy paper, not card stock. There are two or three activities where I recommend card stock because there are "turning" parts and they function better with a stiffer material. Other than those pages, plain copy paper will hold up perfectly. Let me know if you have any other questions:-)
How can I get an updated copy? Upon initial inspection, I have spotted a few errors: p.2 capit, cipit: Latin - “meat, flesh” carne: Latin - “water” and p. 647: spet Latin - “seven." I have not looked through the entire document, so I am not sure if there are additional errors.
I just corrected and reposted. Please check under "my purchases" for the updated file. Thank you for letting me know!
I'm seconds away from purchasing this...I love notebooking and your graphics are ah-mazing! From a logistical point (and thinking ahead to how much paper I'll be given this year), does each root need 2 copies per student or just 1?
Thanks!
Holly Rushton
Hi Holly! I would say that each activity requires at least 2 pages (some 3) for each student. Thanks for your interest!
