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.

I use this with my students in resource room. They all struggle with vocabulary, so this has been extremely helpful as many of them are bilingual. It takes the mystery out of the English words; there are a lot of "a-ha!" moments for them when they make the connections. To aid in retention and comprehension, I created supplemental pages that break down and reinforce each root word. I wouldn't have been able to do that without this resource. Overall, extremely happy with this!
I am very satisfied with the resource. It has been very beneficial and provides rigor for all learners.
This was a great unit to introduce root words to my students. Loved the sequence of each weekly lesson. Only thing I noticed that I would have changed is that some of the questions were a bit outdated, and some of the quiz questions weren't clear enough. Overall, great purchase!!
This has been really easy to prep and use with my child.
I used this resource with my students with reading disabilities to help them to better understand root words, and therefor better understand their technical terms that they encounter in grade level reading materials and curriculum.

Do you sell the wall cards separately? I wanted to order those to go with doodle roots.
Hello! Unfortunately, I don't sell them separately.
Do you have quizzes and answer keys available?
Yes, they are provided to teachers who purchase the resource.
I bought your book 1 and 2 bundle,which is great. But I didn't see that I previously bought Book 1. Is there anyway I can get a credit instead of a refund?
No problem! Just contact tpt and they will refund you for the individual items that are are part of the bundle.
Does the get to the root of it book include the doodle pages?
Hello! Thank you for your interest. No, these are a separate purchase.
Hi, I purchased the Interactive Notebook, how does the two correlate? I see the book has an order from unit 1 etc, but the notebook doesn't. Is their an order?
Hi Lynnetta! The INB contains all of the roots covered in Book 1. The roots for the INB are listed in alphabetical order, and not in the the order of the units (like the Doodle Notes).
I am looking at your Book 1 & 2 and was wondering if you had quizzes or tests that went along with them?
Hello! Yes, assessments for each unit are included. You can see samples in the preview.
Hi, thinking about the Root Word sets 1 and 2 which each cover a year. My problem is that I teach 2 sections of honors 7, 2 sections of honors 8 and 1 section of regular 8. I may have the 7's again next year in 8th, so I do not want to deliver the same program to both. I prefer to separate Greek and Latin roots for that reason. Is there an even division within the 2 sets so that each grade can have a separate curriculum?
Thanks for your assistance!
Hello! The Greek and Latin roots are not separated in this resource. Some of the units will have a root or two from each language. The units can be used in any order, however. So you can divide the 40 units by 3 so each section is getting different content. If you do this, you may want to look into adding the All About Affixes book. This will allow you to extend the content to last a year for 3 different sections. I hope this makes sense. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
This looks like an updated version of a product I bought from you a while ago (books 1 and 2). Is there a way to get the updated version without repaying? I am a HUGE fan of this guide and use it all the time.
Also, did you ever make activities for the advanced additional words? I would love these to differentiate work. Thanks!
Hello! Yes, you have access to the updated files under "My Purchases." Unfortunately, I do not have additional activities for the extra words that are provided for extension.
Which 60 Greek and Latin roots are covered in this pack?
Thanks
Hello! They are all listed in the preview (table of contents).
I need the teacher addition to Get To The Root Of It book 1!! How do I purchase it on your website? My email is soonerfans1@cox.net THANK YOU
