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.

This was a hard product to use during distance learning.
I purchased this product, especially for the task cards. Unfortunately, the task cards did not open or fully load so I was not able to use it at all. I was extremely disappointed and would like a refund for this purchase.
I ordered this on accident, as I was looking at two different resources. I am tutoring a 6th grade student and wanted a resource that provided daily work. Overall, the structure just wasnt appealing to either my student or I. It proved a little to difficult to do digitally. Perhaps it would be better to use for in-person learning. Overall, it just wasn't for me.
I have started using this for my students as spiral review. However, it is definitely not for spiral review. It covers mid to end of year concepts in the first week. I am having to do A LOT of editing with this, which I wish I didn't have to do since the reason I bought it was to make distance learning easier.
This was SO repetitive. My daughter would cry when I would say that we were going to do our grammar work. There is really no variety or way to make this a fun learning experience. The power point program was by far the best part of this resource. I had high hopes for this, but unfortunately we will not be using this grammar resource.

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.
