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!

Clever Visual Approach, But Not My Favorite
The sketch-note style brings a creative visual twist to prefixes and suffixes, which I can appreciate in theory. However, the doodle-heavy format isn’t quite my cup of tea. The content seems well-designed and could work well for visual learners, but personally, it didn't click with me.
Creative Concept, Just Not My Jam
The visual layout and doodle-style sketch notes are undeniably creative and well-executed, but the heavily visual format still didn’t resonate with my preferences. I appreciate the effort behind it and can see how it might engage visual learners, yet, personally, it didn’t click for me.
Creative Concept, But Not Quite for Me
The sketch notes are a creative approach and seem to work well for visual learners, but the doodle-heavy format just isn’t my style. The content is solid, and I can see the appeal for some classrooms, but overall it didn’t really win me over.
Would recommend for 6th grade
I purchased this as 5th grade homework/morning work, however even the first few weeks cover things like exponents, multiplying and dividing decimals, etc. that we will not get to until later in the year. I think it would work well for 6th grade as it reviews 5th material.
<p>Hello, Andrea! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. </p><p>This resource is not designed around a particular scope and sequence since many teachers follow different timelines.</p><p>Since Daily Spiral Reviews cover all standards, students are exposed to concepts they may not have had formal instruction on. Unfamiliar content presents a great opportunity for you to build background knowledge and assess where your students are before you even teach a specific lesson.</p><p>The best way to use this spiral review is to begin with whole-group lessons where you model and discuss each activity. I don't worry too much if there haven't been formal lessons on a particular concept; I treat those items more as a preview. After a few weeks, the students really start grasping the format, and you can begin to transfer the workload to them. Eventually, when the students work independently on the review, you will spend time correcting and discussing their work in class. </p><p>As mentioned above, students will encounter concepts they are unfamiliar with. This is a GOOD thing, I promise! We don't always have the answers or know the procedures to solve problems. It's healthy to expose students to "unknowns"; they become less sensitive to the uncomfortable feeling of "not knowing" and are less likely to panic.</p><p>However, you can always use the editable version (open in PowerPoint) to remove/change any review items you like. Thanks for reaching out! </p>
Nonfiction Problem and Solution Resource for Advanced or Upper Elementary Students
I tried using this nonfiction problem and solution resource with my third graders. It has great materials, but it’s definitely better suited for more advanced students or upper elementary. With some modifications, it could work well for younger learners too.

Hello, I teach 6th and 8th ELA. Are there enough words in this item to use for both grades? Are quizzes included? I'm hoping to share one entry each week with each grade. Thank you.

Hi! Does the sketch include only book 1 words only or also book 2?
Hello! This resource covers all roots (and more) from Books 1 and 2 of the practice printables.
Hi. I really like this resource for my EL's. Is there an accompaniment book, more of a curriculum, that goes with this resource? Thanks!
Hi Jaime! Yes, the two resources in this bundle directly support this resource. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Greek-and-Latin-Roots-Vocabulary-Worksheets-Activities-Assessments-Books-1-2-962135
Would you be willing to add some to this. The curriculum I use has certain ones and there are a few I need! I really love this resource and would love to be consistent.
Hi Nicole,
Thanks for reaching out. While I don't have plans to add to this resource right now, you are welcome to email me suggestions for future updates. info@teacherthrive.com
Good morning,
I purchased this resource a few years ago, and it is wonderful. Unfortunately I’ve lost the digital version. Our district switched platforms, and a lot of what we backed up to OneDrive was lost.
I have the printed copy up to “phon”. Is there any way I could purchase everything after that? If I have to purchase the entire resource again, I completely understand.
I also have your Greek and Latin books 1&2 resources, and they are wonderful! There are so many vocabulary words that pop up in our literature and short stories.
Thank you!
Christine
Hello, Christine. No, you do not need to purchase this again. You can redownload the entire resource anytime under “my purchases.”
