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.
Everything you need is right here!

Do not buy this resource if you are looking for an easy, pre-made system. I had to create copies of every single lesson (10 each) in every single unit (20 total). This took me more than 2 hours JUST TO MAKE COPIES AND PUT THEM IN MY DRIVE. It was not clear that this was what you had to in order to use this format.
Once set up, this resource worked really well! I do like the google forms and they look very professional! I have used these in my classroom and the students do seem to enjoy them.
This started a bridge of seeing how language is formed.
The resource was really amazing; the material itself was on target. It is VERY helpful to have it formatted electronically. BUT...there is no question for "What is your name?". So, a time stamp (wonderfully!) appears on the spreadsheet, but I do not know who submitted the work. Maybe I can fix this without going in and adding a question to each set and a column to every spreadsheet. I would love a solution that won't take me hours. I have already uploaded levels 3-5 for the entire year on Schoology.
Some of these were WAY too hard for starting patterns with my grade 2 kiddos... I only cut and took what I could use with them. Wish this was google slide interactive!
I had some students that LOVED this & others that weren't all for it. I didn't get to use many of these because the roots didn't completely match what we teach. This is more of an issue with my school's curriculum though.

I purchases the 2013 versions of both books 1 & 2. There are several errors that I'm assuming were corrected in the newer version. Can I get the updated version since I purchased the original version or do I have to repurchase the bundle?
Hello! You should have the latest versions under “my purchases” in your TpT account.
If I find mistakes or have questions on certain components, who do I contact?
Hello, Alicia!
You can email me directly at info@teacherthrive.com
I have purchased the full package and was wondering if it would be possible to receive the answer keys for Units 1 through 20. At the moment, I am only able to locate the answers for the assessment tasks.
I would appreciate your assistance with this, as having the unit answers would be very helpful for classroom student checking.
Hello! The answer keys for the unit work begin on page 255 of the PDFs.
Hello! I loved books 1 and 2 for Latin and Greek. Is there any chance you are considering offering more? Thank you!
Hi Deanna! I don't plan to create any more books at this time, but thanks for asking. I never know what projects I'll start down the road.
Hi! I just purchased this file and it isn't giving me permission to delete some pages. I wanted to send this to print shop as a workbook for my students, but it saying that I do not have access to alter the product. Obviously I need to delete the cover pages, tests, and answers keys. Can you please contact me with the admin permissions password? Thanks!! Excited to start using this resource.
Hello, Hali. The permissions are set to allow for for deletion of pages. Have you tried to open it in Adobe Reader?
Hello - I am working on a couple of additional activities and wondering if you can share what fonts are used in this resource?
Hi Shawn! I used Runestone and Century Gothic.
Do you have to start with book 1 or can either book be used independently? Could I start with Book 2?
Hello! Thanks for asking. You can start with any book and use whatever units you like in any order.
Hello, I am interested in this product, the powerpoints and the sketch notes -- it looks like they are all aligned - correct? Do they have to be done in order? Is there any spiraling or can I do whichever Unit I choose - ie? start with Unit 18, then Unit 6, then Unit 2 as an example? Does the order have to be followed? Also, I do not have access to PowerPoint - do they come in Google Slides? Thanks!
Hello, Ariel! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, the same roots are covered in the PowerPoints, printables, and sketch notes.
Hello! How many questions are in each of the unit assessments?
Hi Sarah! Thanks for reaching out! There are 10 questions in each assessment.
Hi there!! My students noticed a typo issue in Book 1, Unit 9A activity with the Biodegradable sentence. It seems that the line to put the word biodegradable is put after the word trash but does not work grammatically. I think that it may have switched somehow as grammatically it should end with "biodegradable trash". Is there a way that there can be an update to that unit perchance?
