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.

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

I really love this resource. I have used it for my word work this year in the students' interactive notebooks. I also use your "Get to the Root of It!" for the vocab practice. I am trying to mesh the two resources together. I use "Get to the Root" for the weekly word list and use the pictures in their notebooks for them to learn and study the words. I would love to see more root pictures and lists in this book that match the units in "Get to the Root". I have spent extra time doing some cutting and pasting to have the words match the units in the other book. I have also purchased the power points and that has really made a difference for my visual learners.
The kids love the artwork and the meanings of the roots really stick with them more since they have a picture to go with it. Your work is quality stuff and I really appreciate having it as a resource in my classroom!
I am in the process of adding INB activities for every root in my Get to the Root of It books! The resource should be completed by the end of June 2015
UPDATE: All roots from both of my Get to the Root of It Books are now included in this resource!
This is my first purchase from "Got To Teach" and it will definitely not be my last. I love the marriage of art with the 'thinking' involved with this product; I thought I'd start out giving them the activity with words, then slowly move towards the page without the words. We have already begun root words, but I had to get this for the artwork, which I think will definitely help with learning and remembering the root words. Thank you.
An excellent word attack strategy as well as a vocabulary development!
Your product makes teaching the Greek and Latin roots so much easier for my 5th graders. Thanks for the amazing product!
Love this great activity!

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!
