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.
This HUGE 282-page resource covers over 60 Greek and Latin roots and 200 different words. Created for grades 4-8.
This listing is for the PRINTABLE version only. CLICK HERE for the DIGITAL version.
There are 20 units in this file.
Each unit contains:
*A 4-page student packet, which includes 6 different vocabulary activities
*An individual “Word & Definition Sort”
*A set of 20 “Concentration” game cards
*A complete word wall with “headers” for each root
*A unit assessment
*Also included are unit word lists and answer keys for the student packets.

This is, by far, the best use of classroom money I have EVER spent! I have been looking for a thorough, affordable, easily accessible way to teach Latin/Greek roots in my classroom for two years (I teach 7/8 ELA). I am over the moon for this product, and use it every week in my classes. I use Book 1 for grade 7 and book 2 for grade 8. The students are really enjoying this, and their vocabulary and word knowledge is growing exponentially. Thank you a million times for all of the work that went into this product!
Thank you!!!! I have made PowerPoints with some amazing photos/visuals for each word. You can find them here:

Small typo on p. 114. Not a student page so no big deal. Really like this though! :)
Oh thanks! I'll fix and repost right away.
I love this and it is just what I need! This product covers 5 of the 20 that we are required to cover in fifth grade. Do you have or would you consider creating another product that covers di-,dif-,dis-; a,ab, abs; sur-, super; ad; pos,pon,posit; sid,sed,sess; cur,curs,cour; pes,pod; cray; ate; phobia; ped; sol,mon; rupt; leg, lig, lect; duct; grad, gress; struct
I do have plans to make more books with many of those roots included. However, it will won't be up for several weeks, as these take so long to make. Thank you for your interest!
