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.

When I imagine "sketch notes" I envision something with more graphics to it. These notes feel like organized chaos and are not very user friendly for my learning disabled students.
THERE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY MISTAKES.
<p>Hi Terry, I recieved your question about the Correlative Conjunctions unit. I have corrected the duplicate number 9 on the assessment. </p><p>However, number 11 doesn't have an erroe: "Neither my mom nor my sisters are going camping this weekend." is grammatically correct. </p><p>I am not sure what other errors you are referring to. After 5 years of publishing this resource, I have never heard from teachers about "SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY MISTAKES."</p>
I have loved all the grammar resources. This was the first resource where the PPT was acting all goofy. The underlining did not match the correct phrase.
Attractively formatted, but some of the language was pretty objectionable (dorky? annoying?) as were the messages in some of the fictional stories, and it is hard to copy and paste revisions over it so that I can use these things without fear of getting in trouble from the administration.
A good resource but terrible wording, I thought this was in pdf form but it’s only google slides, I asked if I could get the pdf and she said no

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.
