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 8 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 2. The units from this book are perfectly aligned with the PowerPoints within this resource.

Love these! Thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate you leaving me positive feedback n
Really excited to use this unit! Everything I have purchased from you has been outstanding! Thank you so much for quality work!
Thank YOU for your continued support! It makes me beyond happy that you are finding my work helpful in your class.
Excellent resource. Our homeschool will be using these to stop the summer-slide.
That's a fantastic idea! Thank you very much for the feedback.
This resource is absolutely incredible!! I love the idea of the fairytales-like you said in your rationale: it's so much easier to apply these icons to texts they are already familiar with. It brings success to them quicker, and inspires them take on the challenge of applying them to new material we'll encounter through the year. Older students still have that "little kid" inside of them, and I believe my middle schoolers will love revisiting these tales. I cannot wait to begin next school year with this resource! Keep the products coming!!
Thank you for one of the best "feedbacks" EVER. I really do appreciate the time and care you took to leave your response. And, yes, TOTALLY appropriate for middle school and beyond; there are actually some pretty "deep" elements to fairytales that older students can really dive into.
Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
Great book! Thank you for the feedback.

I know there are assessments per unit, but do you by chance have any summative assessments that cover all the roots taught in Book 1?
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not have a summative assessment covering all of the roots. However, we will keep this in mind for future projects!
Hi - Neither this or set 1 of the product will download as a zip. I have never had a problem with TPT zip files - please advise as to how to access my purchases.
Thank you for reaching out. 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
I eagerly await using the PPT, however, I found a typo in unit 19 book 2, democracy slide should say "citizens" not "citizen". Are you able to make this update? Thanks!
Hi Linda. I will correct right away. You are able to edit th PowerPoints, in the meantime.
