Description
Greek and Latin Roots PowerPoints! 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.
Now you can easily present these essential components of English with these engaging and visually stunning PowerPoint presentations!
What’s included in this resource?
This resource is an extensive collection of 20 different PowerPoint presentations, each one covering three different roots. Each presentation includes ten high-utility words, one word per slide. Each slide includes a clear, concise definition, the word used in context, and a carefully selected image that will further emphasize the meaning and application of the word. Download the preview for a complete look at the Unit 1 PowerPoint.
These PowerPoints are an effective stand-alone resource for your classroom. However, if you are looking to extend and deepen your students’ vocabulary skills, then check out my Get to the Root of It: Book 1. The units from this book are perfectly aligned with the PowerPoints within this resource.

I purchased this resources to use with my students that are distance learning. I saw the standards that were included and purchased it with the assumption that I would be able to find the standard that I was teaching and give the assessment/quiz for that specific standard. While the material is good, I do NOT like the set up and it does NOT allow me to use it in the way that I want. It is set up weekly with NO table of contents. I did not intend to use it weekly. I thought that I would be able to use it for the standard that I was teaching. If you want to do a spiral review at the end of the year after you have taught every standard, then this would be a good resource. However, if you are wanting a product that will you will be able to use per standard, do not waste your time. Each link is just a link with no idea what you are downloading. I am going to keep looking for a product that I can use.
Good resource, but too few lessons are drilled throughout the year. It'd be great if more grammar lessons were incorporated.
The file is in a PDF. I wanted to modify it by using each page as a background in slides and then placing text boxes over it where I wished students to write or place images. I got the free extension small PDF to convert the files into PNG files but the document is too large. I tried several other extensions but nothing would work without paying additional money. I reached out to the seller to give me the document in PNG, or to break it in 10 page segments so I could use it. She refused. Now I am stuck doing screenshots which come out blurry.
This was WAY too difficult to start the year with. It would have been much better to spiral at the beginning with the standards from the grade level below, rather than starting with the end of year standards.
<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 reveiw 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 beneficial 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.</p>
I really like this-like others have said, I haven't found a way to have students record their name so that makes it somewhat unusable.

Are there quizzes that go along with this product or have I completely overlooked it?
Hello, Susan! No, these are PowerPoints only.
Hi - Just purchased both sets of PowerPoints and the zip files do not completely download with multiple attempts. The files will not expand as zip files. Please advise as to how to access these files.
Hello! We're sorry for this inconvenience. This appears to be an issue with TpT. Please contact TpT so they can troubleshoot this with you directly. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Contact
Hello,
I'm wondering if your powerpoints go with your other resources? For example, if I purchase the interactive notebook Greek and Latin roots, does it align with the powerpoints. Also, if I purchase the sketch notes, do these align with one or both of the former?
thanks!
Thanks for reaching out! These particular powerpoints align perfectly with our Greek and Latin Root Words {Book 1} as well as our Greek and Latin Roots Sketch Notes: Book 1.
Do you have a bundle for Book 1?
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not. TpT doesn't have a function that allows us to easily create custom bundles in a way that ensures customers always have the latest version of their resources, so we don't offer this option on TpT. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
I would like to add the slides as Google Slides for my students to view in our Canvas learning management system. Is that allowed? I do not want to violate the copyright and I want to protect your work.
This is an amazing resource!
Thanks for asking. Teachers are absolutely allowed to use any Teacher Thrive/Got to Teach resources they have purchased with their students on private Learning Management Systems likes Google Classroom, Schoology, Microsoft Teams, or Canvas. We do prohibit users from sharing resources with other teachers who have not purchased the materials, however. We also prohibit the use of our materials for commercial purposes on platforms such as Outschool. Again, thank you for reaching out. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
I am very interested in purchasing the Greek and Latin roots PPT. I saw another buyer asked the question of transitioning the ppt to Googe slides. I will need to do the same for my school. Do you know if your product transitions well into Google? Thank you!
Hello! Yes, these will work in Google Slides.
Does the book 1 PowerPoint have all the words (not just the roots) that are on the doodle worksheets?
Hi Kim,
The PowerPoints don’t match the doodle notes word lists word for word;
I added a few more words to the doodle notes that students can choose from. They do perfectly match the printables in the Get to the Root of It books.
Does Book 1 powerpoint coincide with Book 1 Doodle Notes?
Hi Alicia! Yes, the cover the same roots.
I am excited to order a bunch of your roots materials...I had been using another product, but yours seems so much more complete! Question: We are a "Google" school - will the Powerpoints translate OK into Google Slides? I'd hate to buy 3 PPT resources and then not be able to use them. Is the password issue fixed? Thanks so much!
Hi Cindy! I’d be happy to send you some sample resources to try out. Please email me at info@teacherthrive.com
I'm super interested in your Greek & Latin roots products. I understand that the powerpoints can't be edited. Is it possible to add narration to them? I'd like to be able to do that for some of my modified reading kiddos. It seems like they may now be editable based on one of the Q & As below. If you could let me know before I purchase, I'd appreciate it! Thanks.
Hi Kelley! Yes, the PowerPoints are editable so you can add narration to them.
